Thank you for your interest in provisioning books for stage programs at the 2027 Bay Area Book Festival (June 4–6)!

One of the beautiful aspects of our annual festival is that we invite independent booksellers to join us as booksellers for each of our stages throughout the festival. Stages can range in size from smaller capacity (75 people) to large capacity (500+ people) and our stages cover all sorts of topics throughout both days. Booksellers will be placed near their particular stage and provided with tables, canopies (for outdoor stages, where applicable), and chairs free of charge. Though we will provide you with an order list at least 2 months out from the festival, booksellers are responsible for all aspects of procuring titles for the stages, and get to keep 100% of the profits of sales. Booksellers are required to make arrangements to provide sales for all featured speakers, and we feature traditionally published as well as independently published authors.

If you are an independent bookseller and would like to be considered for this year’s festival, please fill out the form below.

Booksellers need to staff their own sales tables and process all sales on their own. Are you going to be able to do this?(Required)

Yes

Booksellers must make every effort to carry all authors' books, including author-published ("self-published") books at times. If issues arise obtaining a particular title, we ask that booksellers communicate this quickly and well ahead of time so we can assist with getting those books. Are you willing to make every effort to procure all titles and communicate with us if you are unable to obtain it?(Required)

Yes

Is there anything else you would like the festival team to know?
