Williamsburg Book Festival Sponsors
The Williamsburg Book Festival is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Williamsburg Book Festival, Inc. is formed exclusively for charitable and educational and literary purposes. Specifically, the organization hosts promotional and educational events, seminars and workshops that promote and support the craft of literary composure and the exposure of writers to the reading public. A recent project recorded the stories of displaced African-Americans living in Williamsburg during desegregation.
The new logo reflects the history of fine writing which formed our nation and our pride in Williamsburg, Virginia’s Colonial Capital, founded in 1699.
