Connecticut Book Festival 2024 WAITLIST

CAPA's Connecticut Book Festival is at capacity for authors. You may join the waitlist to be notified of any openings. Authors will be contacted in order of joining the waitlist. If a spot opens and we contact you, you must respond within 48 hours, so list an email you check frequently. If we do not hear from you in that time, we will move on to the next person.

We cannot guarantee if/any spots will open up, but are offering a waitlist in case they do.

Tables: Authors who signed up for the book festival had the option of bringing their own table, or using half an 8ft table (provided). When a spot opens up on the waitlist, you will be offered the table selection available. We will have no way of controlling what type of space it is, as the festival is at capacity.
