Dahlonega Literary Festival & Writer's Conference

All festival events are free and open to the public, with no registration or tickets required.  The festival offers the opportunity to interact with authors while promoting the joy of reading.  Every author on the program takes part in the events, either as part of a panel or as a solo presenter, followed by book signings. 

As some of last year’s authors said, “The Dahlonega Literary Festival is a wonderful combination of literary craft, great food, and excellent company amid the rolling foothills in the North Georgia mountains. . . “  “With its superb mix of panel discussions, individual presentations, signings and social events, all wrapped up in the very warmest Southern Hospitality,  the Dahlonega Literary Festival is a fabulous experience for authors and readers alike.“  All in all, a book lover’s paradise.

For more detailed and updated information, and the complete list of authors participating in the Festival, please refer to our website at www.literaryfestival.org or phone Pat Wozny at 706-867-0120.
