Chapter Three: Publish or Perish
Book lovers! Linden Tree Publishing is proud to invite you to join us this February for the
1st Annual Susquehanna Valley Writer’s Festival! This will be the culmination of months
searching for the newest and brightest writer in the region. We have narrowed it down to
four finalists and now it’s time for you to meet them for yourselves!
Join us at the Bloomsburg Public Library, our generous hosts for the event, for three days of
readings and discussions presented by our finalists! Each day you will have the opportunity
to hear snippets of their work and join in discussions with them about their specialties!
And it will all end with a fabulous party, held at the library, where we will announce the
winner!
The winner of the festival will receive: a $50,000 prize, a publishing contract with Linden
Tree Publishing for their winning entry, and a book tour once their work is published!
And not only will you get to meet our finalists and hear their work, you will also have the
opportunity to meet our esteemed panel of judges! Each of our judges is an expert in the
literary field and have graciously offered their knowledge to help pick the winning entry!
So please join us to help celebrate all of these talented authors and their work!
This fundraiser will support the partnership between the Bloomsburg Public Library, the Columbia County Traveling Library, and the Orangeville Public Library. Come out and make fun memories with friends old and new while supporting the community, programs, and collections of our Columbia County libraries.
