Dahlonega Literary Festival
The Dahlonega Literary Festival is an annual celebration of books. The next festival will take place in March 7-9, 2014. Situated in Historic Downtown Dahlonega, the festival continues to grow and become more and more entertaining as the years go on. We promise that it will delight anyone who is a lover of books and reading. All festival events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Each year the festival presents a slate of invited authors representing a variety of genres sharing their ideas and experiences in various programs. In addition, a number of regional authors (ranging from local to other areas of the Southeast) have the opportunity to purchase a table to both interact with festival attendees and sell their books.
We are a festival of books, not just a festival with books

Attention Local and Regional Authors!
Hey Authors! Would you like to purchase a table at the festival, to sell and promote your work?
For a fee of $35, participants will have the use of a table in an indoor location to promote and sell their work for the weekend, 9:00 – 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and 1:30 – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday (times approximate).
If you would like to apply for this option, please contact Ken Smoke at ken_smoke421@yahoo.com to make arrangements for sending a copy of your book for review. The festival strives to maintain a balance of genres, and space is limited. If you are accepted for this year’s event, you will then be asked to send payment to secure your spot.
Thank you for your interest in the 2012 Dahlonega Literary Festival.
