Iowa City Unesco City of Literature Presents IOWACITYBOOKFESTIVAL.ORG IOWA CITY UNESCO CITY OF LITERATURE PRESENTS Oct. 1-6, 2019 OCT. 1-6, 2019 recently ran into someone who told me the annual Iowa City Book Festival is her “happy place.” She I recounted events she had attended over the past few years, reciting specific details from the sessions. “I just STAFF learn so much!” she said. As we embark on the 11th annual Iowa City Book Festival, feedback like that is energizing. Providing those Executive types of experiences is the driving force behind the festival. We hope our attendees come away entertained and Director enlightened. John Kenyon I am often asked in the lead-up to each year’s festival, “Who do you have?” These well-meaning queries are in search of a name that will spark recognition, and each year we certainly offer authors with names familiar to Director of those who peruse the New York Times Book Review. But we also schedule many authors whose names might not be Operations familiar, whose works haven’t hit your radar… yet. Rachael Carlson Iowa City, the third city in the world to earn the City of Literature designation, is now one of 28 in the world and one of 180 members of UNESCO’s multi-art form Creative Cities Network. We were recognized for Marketing many reasons: The word-renowned writing programs at the University of Iowa, including the Writers’ Workshop Assistant and International Writing Program, our small presses and magazines, our wonderful libraries, our bookstores, Brooke Sarrazin and amenities like the Iowa Avenue Literary Walk. While you are here, we encourage you to explore all of this and more, to fully immerse yourself in our rich literary culture. Social Media One of the joys of being in a City of Literature is not just the opportunity to be around well-known Sarah Nelson authors, but to be around people who are toiling away on their first novel, perfecting a poem that may never see publication, interviewing someone for a groundbreaking essay or piece of nonfiction. Literature is all around Intern us here, and the Iowa City Book Festival is our small way of illuminating a portion of it. Sometimes that means John Paul shining a spotlight, while other times we are attempting to brighten the corners a bit. Cacioppo Each year, the City of Literature staff is aided in that task by many people. In addition to the dozens of volunteers who make this possible, I would like to give special thanks to Anna Barker, Hugh Ferrer, Kathleen Program Design Johnson, Jordan Sellergren, and Jan Weissmiller.
