A new way to stay informed, inspired, and in touch.
Dear Friends,
Whether you’ve been with us for one season or many, you’re part of the Buckeye Book Fair family—and we’re excited to welcome you to a new way of staying connected.
The Author + Illustrator Connection is a new blog and newsletter created especially for you, our past and future participants. This will be the official space where we’ll share important updates, announcements, and helpful resources as we prepare for the upcoming Fair.
Think of it as your go-to hub for:
- 📅 Submission deadlines and Fair logistics
- 📣 Opportunities for promotion and media features
- ✍️ Tips for presenting your work and connecting with readers
- 📚 Behind-the-scenes insights and author spotlights
- 🤝 Community stories and ways to stay involved year-round
After years of one-on-one emails and scattered updates, we wanted to streamline communication and make sure no one misses a beat. This space will grow with your needs, and our hope is that it helps you feel even more connected to the mission we all share: promoting literacy, celebrating storytelling, and lifting up Ohio’s literary voices.
As we look ahead to the 2025 Buckeye Book Fair, we hope you’ll follow along, contribute when you’re inspired, and continue to be part of what makes this event so meaningful.
Thank you for the stories you write, the art you create, and the readers you reach. We can’t wait to share what’s next—with you.
Warmest wishes,
Kimberly Jarvis
Executive Director
