Open Call For Authors : UPDATE: ALL AUTHOR TABLES ARE SOLD OUT! SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY.







Open Call for authors is now open!


UrbanReviewsOnline.com presents the 16th Annual Great Midwest Book Fest. 

The Great Midwest Book Fest will be held on Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 1pm to 4pm at 

Xchange Event & Creative Space 3334 N. Holton Street, Milwaukee, WI.


 Great Midwest Book Fest is a three-hour book fair that is open to the public with a $10 admission. This year's headline authors will be New York Times Bestselling author Kimberla Lawson Roby, USA Today Bestselling author Naleighna Kai and more! 


There will be 10 to 12 authors selling their own books. The first hour will be dedicated to author introductions. Each author will get five minutes to either read an excerpt of their book or to tell attendees more about themselves or their books. This will be followed by a 10-15 minute Q&A session with the attendees.  Please be advised that this is a local book event (not a conference), so please think about overall costs when deciding to participate in this event (i.e. airfare, hotel, food, etc)


The participation fee for an author table is $150. You will have your own table to decorate any way that you would like. You will be included in all of our online marketing materials, postcards, posters, and any other media that we will have throughout our city. You must have an ACTIVE social media presence. It can be your own website or any social media platform where readers can connect with you and be able to purchase your books. If you are interested, please respond back to this email radiah@urban-reviews.com ASAP and I will send you an Paypal invoice. Once all spots are filled, invoices will be cancelled. Thank you!
