"We are incredibly excited to be able to host this lineup of quality authors and illustrators this year," said Sara Volpi, Literary Outreach Coordinator for WKU Libraries and Book Fest organizer. "There are authors for audiences of all ages and reading levels, and the event is free and open to the public." Held at WKU's Knicely Conference Center, SOKY Book Fest weekend is full of author presentations, panel discussions and book signings as well as the Kentucky Writers Conference featuring writing workshops on April 22 presented by several authors who will be at the main event on April 23. April 22 events also include Children's Day, with hundreds of school-aged children and teens visiting presentations and getting books signed by favorite and newly discovered authors. Our Teen Writers Conference, now in its second year, is geared toward youth in grades 9 through 12, and each session is taught by a SOKY Book Fest author. For information or to register, go to sokybookfest.org and click on Children's Day/Teen Writers Conference under the Events tab. Michael Morris, V.E.
