In the News
“The Martha’s Vineyard book festival celebrated its 20th anniversary over the weekend doing what it does best — bringing authors and readers together to discuss literature and ideas as well as inspire one another.”
Book Festival Places Stories and Issues Center Stage Vineyard Gazette, Aug 5, 2025
“There is a relationship formed between reader and literature, one that deepens as the journey from cover to cover takes place... For those who are under its spell, nothing else compares...
Here on the Vineyard ... there is a chance to rekindle that bond thanks to the Martha’s Vineyard Book Festival, where readers and authors leave the page and spend time together in real life, listening, asking questions, learning and being inspired anew.”
