Thank you for Joining us for the 5th Anniversary Capital BookFest!

Since 2005, the Capital BookFest has brought hundreds of authors together for a festive and insightfl day of readings, panels, storytellying, and exhibitors. From Celebrity authors like Victorial Rowell, Nikki Giovanni, and Tim Reid to Pulitzer-prize Winning Authors Edward P. Jones and Douglass Blackmon; from bestselling novelists like Victoria Christopher Murray and Marita Golden, to Children's authors Shane Evans, Elena & Elizabeth, and Eloise Greenfield; from the talented Book-in-a-Day teen authors, to the emerging and self-published authors, the Capital BookFest takes the words off the page, and brings books alive. In the Fall of 2010, we will take the show on the road, continuing our mission to strengthen families through reading, in Charleston, SC, Harrisburg, PA, and our signature city-Largo, MD. Thank you to all of the authors, families, sponsors and supporters, like you, who have made our journey successful. —Kwame Alexander, Producer
