2024 FESTIVAL AUTHOR APPLICATION
Thanks for your interest in the Texas Word Wrangler Book Festival!
This year's festival is Sept. 27-28, 2024
Our annual book festival promotes Texas literature. Applications are open to 1) authors who live in Texas, 2) authors from Texas, or 3) authors with a book about a Texas topic. If none of these apply to you, please don't continue with the application.
To be considered for the 2024 book festival, eligible authors should complete this online application, and mail one book to the library for the committee to review. Both should be received prior to the May 31, 2024, deadline.
The online application is divided into four parts and will take about 10 minutes to complete (provided you've already written an author bio and a book summary). For your convenience, you'll receive an emailed copy of your application.
DISCLAIMER: We are a medium-sized library in a small town (pop. 5,067). Our top-selling festival authors sell in the neighborhood of 50-60 books. Many of our authors are independently published; others are traditionally published. Please proceed with this application if you think our festival is a good fit for your goals as an author.
If, however, you're looking for a festival with an opportunity to sell thousands of books and hobnob with Pulitzer Prize-winning authors and fancy-pants publishers ... please consider applying to a different book festival, because that's just not us.
