The Chestertown Book Festival Committee is beginning the planning for the second annual festival (coming to you October 8 and 9, 2010). We have been evaluating the good points of last year's craziness (for repetition, of course) and the bad points (to be avoided, if at all possible), and from this we will sketch a sustainable festival format. For an experimental event, the first annual ChesBookFest was extremely successful, so the good points definitely outweigh the bad ones.
Between now and the next meeting of the ChesBookFest Committee (February 23), we hope to:
1. Firmly knot-up all financial strings left untied from last year.
2. Finish sending out official Thank-Yous to all of our wonderful 2009 participants.
3. Amend our previous "Call for Authors" press release to be ready for advertising.
4. Invite new members to be a part of the ChesBookFest Committee, either in an "Advisory" or "Planning" capacity. If you are interested, please contact us at chesbookfest@gmail.com.
