The 20th anniversary edition of the West Virginia Book Festival will have a true 21st century ambience, presented entirely virtually today and tomorrow.
Writers and readers will be able to come together virtually at the second annual Sunshine State Book Festival that kicks off Saturday as an all-digital event.
The Writers Alliance of Gainesville (WAG) didn’t want the pandemic to get in the way of its yearly literary event, hence its decision to get around COVID-19 with a digital twist.
“We wanted to have something to keep the momentum going because last year’s festival was so successful,” said WAG President Jess Elliott. “But it seemed unlikely we would be able to hold a meet-in-person event.” So WAG put members resourcefulness and imaginations to work digitally.
