We’re getting great feedback from this year’s festival! More responses coming soon!
I was only able to attend the Readers Festival this year. Next year I'll bring all my friends. Listening and talking with the authors has been great.

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed my participation in the Amelia Island Book Festival. It is always a friendly, almost-intimate gathering of authors and book lovers. I like to attend the festival, even when I'm not a presenting author.

Thank you so much for the honor of being a small part of what you do to encourage a love for books and for reading.
....You should write a book entitled "How to Conduct a Great Book Festival". I will always smile when I consider my time at The Amelia Island Book Festival.

I had a marvelous time! You made me want to move to Amelia Island! I've never been to a book festival so well run.
I was enormously impressed by the fact that you all had read my book. You really know how to create the sense of a community of book lovers. Your project of sending authors into the schools is a brilliant one. I'll be back -- as a book lover and a lover of your Festival!

Authors, readers, books and great discussion in a setting that offers a quaint downtown, scenic marshes, and the ocean. I returned home exhilarated and smiling.
