These communications are not from us.
Please be aware that all official Scottsdale Book Festival correspondence comes directly through our official website and dedicated festival email.
If you receive an email, message, or solicitation claiming to represent the Scottsdale Book Festival that did not originate through one of our official channels, please disregard it — regardless of whose name appears on the message.
The Scottsdale Book Festival is not currently accepting new authors or general exhibitor applications for the 2027 festival. Festival spaces are sold out.
Authors who submitted applications and were approved have already been contacted directly by the festival and have received their participation information.
We have also established a reserve/backup list for potential openings. Authors currently on that list have already been contacted directly by us.
We are not selling admission tickets to the Scottsdale Book Festival. The festival is free to attend.
For information about future participation opportunities, applications, or any questions regarding the festival, please contact us only through the official Scottsdale Book Festival website.
If you are ever unsure whether a communication is legitimate, please verify it with us directly before responding, sending payment, or providing personal information.
Thank you for helping us keep our author, exhibitor, and festival community informed and protected.
