Hanover Book Festival-2009
|
Description: |
The Hanover Book Festival was begun in 2006
by The Hanover Writers Club to help promote reading. While attempting to
sell their books, too often authors would hear the discouraging words,
"I don't read." In this age of television, movie and computer screens,
the written page is becoming an anachronism in many people's lives. To
encourage and promote reading as an enjoyable experience, the Hanover
Book Festival was born.
Our Mission Statement: It is Our Mission to raise community awareness of
reading, promote reading, and educate about the processes related to
writing books, and to encourage and support Virginia's authors.
