Sponsor the Festival
Every fall, the Decatur Book Festival stands as a cornerstone of literary culture in the U.S., bringing together thousands to celebrate books and authors. Year after year, we showcase award-winning, best-selling national, regional, and local authors through our lively and culturally-rich atmosphere.
​
As a sponsor, you can reach the DBF audience and festival attendees through multiple channels, including pre-event and onsite media coverage, social media, exhibition space, web exposure, and more. Book lovers are pretty fascinating people and you can get in front of thousands.
