Happy to announce SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN for the 2022 MONTANA BOOK FESTIVAL. You have until 7/15 to click this link and delight us with your new book:

Howdy folks, what strange and silly time. Just a reminder that we regularly update https://t.co/FxSeRDy0Y3, are actively on instagram (more often than here, at least) as [at]montanabookfestival, and you can always reach your trusty director at montanabookfestival@gmail.com

I'm at the ZACC tonight at 7:00 for the @MTBookFest. You should definitely not come, and definitely do not bring all of your friends. Totally won't see you there.

i'm thrilled to be hosting a panel @MTBookFest on the Chinese experience of Montana with @BigSkyHistory, @JamieFord, and @teowlimgoh. the panel will be an important space to speak truth, and tell a history that has been epistomologically erased in the american west

This is the subject of Mike McTee's latest book, and he and Mason both happen to be on panels at this year's festival's closing day, September 18th at @missoulalibrary

Submissions for books may be over, but the final is just beginning. Come on down to Gild August 1st to drink a beer in our honor and be the first to hear our 2022 authors list!

You don't want to miss out on the fun we'll be having in September, and you'll definitely want to be a part of our special announcement on July 15th https://t.co/Vzbs9YwwaY

Also, if you DO have a book, submissions for those are still open! We'd love to read it. Same place as the above link.

Submissions for this are open until August 1st. All experience levels, from new writing students to acclaimed authors and poets are welcome. Sign up here:

Hey folks, thought we'd announce here that submissions are open for our short reading series. This is something new for the Book Fest, but so many established and up-&-coming writers had pieces to share that weren't a part of a larger work, it was a no-brainer.

Just a reminder, A. Book Fest will be tabling at the Camas release show at FreeCycles starting at 7pm B. Missoula Gives is going on! We'll have ways to donate at the show or you can just follow this link: https://t.co/CsSxQP7DIa

I will be at the Camas issue release party tomorrow evening at FreeCycles! Come say hi!

Hey folks, a couple of things: A. Missoula Gives starts TOMORROW! The more you give the better we can make this year and future festivals!

We so excited to see how Sam builds upon his community experiences here in Missoula to make this year's IN-PERSON festival (Sept. 15-18, 2022) one to remember! Welcome aboard, Sam! 3/3
