Book festival returning to Sisters in September

Sisters Festival of Books is making a comeback.

The second annual Sisters Festival of Books (SFoB), a multi-day celebration of literature and storytelling taking place across multiple venues in Sisters, is set for September 13-15.

“After a successful launch in 2019, and then being put on an indefinite hiatus due to COVID, we are bringing SFoB back bigger and better than ever on the five-year anniversary of the festival’s inception,” said director Lane Jacobson.

Information and submission forms for sponsorships, author submissions, and more general details are available at SistersFoB.org.

Tickets go on sale July 1, and ticket details can be found at http://SistersFob.org. Author line-ups and more event details will be shared at that time.

The festival will include author events and signings at Sisters Movie House, a Literary Banquet Author Dinner, a Small Press and Local Author Faire at Paulina Springs Books and Toriizaka Art, featuring over 15 small presses and local authors, and writing and publishing workshops.

Author submissions are open until July 31.

“We are in the process of establishing SFOB as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,’” Jacobson noted. “Proceeds will provide funding for local school libraries and scholarships for graduating students.”

Sponsorship options will be available for publishers and businesses.
