Somehow here we are in September! Hopefully most of our attendees have had time to catch up on reading on the beach or under a tree, meanwhile most of the committee has been busy at work at our "day jobs". Nantucket was bustling with activity this July and August! Of course we have had time to recap and review and are already setting our sights on some great authors for next year, so if you have some ideas or more feedback from last year please don't hesitate to fill out our new online comment form click HERE. You can fill it out for a specific seminar or just a "general" form, it helps us greatly when programming for next year. We do want to send out a big thank you to everyone that made the festival happen! We are so grateful.

We are still riding the wave of the festival and enjoying hearing about the unique individual experiences of our authors, attendees, committee members and founders. It's a fun way to relive the festival since none of us could attend every single one of the programs.

We are excited to share some videos that NCTV18.org has put up on their site, so if you missed some of our programs keep an eye out there and you can enjoy them. You can watch the "sold out" free session with Ishmael Beah by clicking here.

Our authors also had a great time at the festival. The Typewriter Rodeo stayed an extra day after the festival and they are eager to return to Nantucket sometime soon. They said, “The Festival was pure magic!”

We received a great and humbling note from the Alleys, and a fun photo. They said, "Thanks so much for making our trip to Nantucket so easy and fun. The venues were wonderful. The cheerful volunteers were equally wonderful. And, of course, all of you organizers were especially wonderful."

Please be sure mark your calendars now for the 5th Nantucket Book Festival: June 17-19, 2016.

Of course we could not do what we do without the generous support of our donors, sponsors, volunteers and everyone who participates to make this such a great annual event. We are now working on 2016, so if you are interested in giving back to the festival please click here.
