General Information

The second annual Sedona Book Festival is sponsored by The Well Red Coyote bookstore, Yavapai College, and the Friends of the Sedona Public Library.

This year, our festival will be indoors, spread throughout the scenic Yavapai College Sedona campus, located at 4215 Arts Village Drive (near the intersection of W. State Route 89A and Cultural Park Place) in West Sedona.

Following last year’s successful inaugural festival under the “big tent,” our new venue allows for even more participation from authors and others, with ample and close-in parking, too. And like last year, the festival will be free to the public.

The Sedona Book Festival 2010 will spotlight local and regional authors, publishers and other organizations dedicated to celebrating the pleasures of reading and writing. More than 60 exhibitors will provide attendees with a wide range of books and book-related offerings. In addition, select authors will be making presentations in our special authors’ room throughout the day.

Our Guest of Honor this year, honoring a local individual who has greatly contributed to the growth and vitality of the Sedona/Verde Valley literary community, will be Gary Every, author, poet, performer and moderator of the Sedona Writing Salon.

Our Keynote Speaker will be Allen Woodman, Chair of the English Department and Professor of Creative Writing at Northern Arizona University, author of six books of fiction and scores of short stories and essays.

Preceding the festival, on Friday evening, October 1, will be a fundraising “Dinner in the Stacks” at the Sedona Public Library, sponsored by the Friends of the Sedona Public Library.

We are also planning several special events prior to the festival, including an essay contest for school children, an authors-in-schools project and writing workshops. Check back here for details as they develop.
