Authors, BoBi Honoree and Poster Reveal 
Dear Festival Friends,Last week we announced that the Brooklyn Book Festival will be fully virtual for its 15th anniversary (due to a concern for the safety of our public and authors).We will very much miss welcoming tens of thousands of book lovers to Downtown Brooklyn to celebrate authors, books and publishers. In the spirit of finding a silver lining (or several), we wanted to share with you good news about this year’s Festival. We also invite you to support the Festival, which is even more important to keep free for our audience in this challenging year.Support us hereOur announcement was festive and we were joined by novelists Andrés Neuman (attending from Granada, Spain), Tracy O’Neill, Donna Hill, Emma Straub, and Marie-Helene Bertino; children’s book authors Tami Charles and Kevin Noble Maillard, poet Diannely Antigua, and cookbook author Bill Buford. See the announcement here on IGTV or VIMEO.A fantastic list of authors will be part of the 2020 Festival with more to come.Check out the full list hereWith the virtual Festival, more authors can take part from across the country and globe including Australia, Cuba, Mozambique, South Africa, and Spain. Plus, as a booklover, wherever you may live, you will be able to tune in for the Festival’s unique conversations and discussions with hundreds of emerging and bestselling authors. That is a bright, silver lining!We are thrilled that Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage will be our BoBi Honoree.
