Martha's Vineyard Book Festival

when is the event planned for summer '08?
thanks

For the past three years the Martha's Vineyard Book Festival has been the first Sunday in August -- but they haven't announced this year's dates yet. As the event gets closer, please check back with us though!

Has the date been announced for the 2008 festival?

They actually aren't going to host a Book Festival this summer, but check back for 2009.

Thanks for your interest!

I wish to participate in the Martha's Vineyard Book Festival in 2008. How do I get an application form and find out more about selling books in Martha's Vineyard festival?

Thank You for your help

Truly yours

Good Evening,

I heard so much about the Martha's Vineyard's book festival.

My name is Julius Thompson and I'm the author of the Julius Thompson Trilogy. I've been nominated for Gerogia Author of the year for the Georgia Writer's Association for the publication of Philly Style and Philly Profile.

I would love to be a part of the Martha's Vineyard's book festival.

My novel, A Brownstone In Brooklyn, is in the Auburn Avenue Research Library and in the Dekalb County Library System.

I really work hard for the promotion of my trilogy! Please view my book trailer and listen to my radio interview to learn more about my books.I've also included a trilogy overview.

My publisher is Seaburn Publishing in New York City. I've signed copies of my books at New York is Book Country book festival and the Creative Arts Fair of Brooklyn, Miami Book Fair International, National Blacks Arts Festival in Atlanta, Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Chapter 11, Nuban Bookstore and other venues.

Trilogy Overview:
The saga of Andy Michael Pilgrim is a journey through the sixties in A Brownstone In Brooklyn, the seventies in Philly Style and Philly Profile and the eighties in The Ghosts of Atlanta.

The reader follows Andy as he matured in the turbulent sixties in Brooklyn with the Civil Rights movement, his working career as a sportswriter in the seventies in Philadelphia watching the influence of drugs and gangs destroy young people's lives, and in the eighties in Atlanta where he faces demons from his youth and see the effects of reverse migration of African-Americans from the northern cities back to the new south.

Andy's thirty-year odyssey from Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Atlanta showcase new life-altering situations and problems that faced African-Americans in the last half of the twentieth century.

Thank You for your support,

Julius Thompson
