Dear Festival Friend,
We are inviting you to a special Sneak-Peek event on Thursday, April 10. If you join us, you will enjoy live jazz, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres, and you'll get to hear from acclaimed Kansas City author Candice Millard, whose rousing history books have climbed into the NYTimes Bestseller list repeatedly. You will also get to hear from five authors slated to speak at the 2025 Festival (September 20), who will share tantalizing snippets from their writing. Festival authors will be conversation partners, and you can bid on rare books, such as a signed copy of Robert Frost's poetry. A set of signed books by Candice will be raffled too, and books will be available for purchase from Kansas presses.
Please help us grow our Friends of the Festival by joining us from 7-8:30 pm on April 10 at the Parish Hall of Grace Episcopal Cathedral in Topeka (701 SW 8th Ave.). Individual tickets cost $35, or you can donate further by bringing a table of friends (i.e., six guests joined by a Sneak-Peek author for $500).
Click here to buy tickets, and we hope to see you for an evening of entertainment and meaningful, book-loving conversation.
Thanks on behalf of the Board of the Kansas Book Festival,
Tim Bascom (Executive Director) and Kathleen O’Leary Morgan (Chair of the Board)
