The Matheson Museum will host the Friday night reception and is planning an exhibition on historical Gainesville literary figures. \nWAG authors will have first opportunity to register for festival exhibit space where they can sell and sign their books. Richard stated that online registration would open to WAG members February 1\, 2019\, and then to authors statewide a few weeks later. He urged those who want to sell books to claim their space as soon as registration opens. \nMallory gave audience members an idea of the scope of the undertaking as she presented a list of the various committees needed to pull off a book festival. “These are not one-person jobs\,” she noted. “Nearly every committee needs multiple volunteers.“ She listed committees where WAG members are needed and invited members to pitch-in: \n\nFunding: writing grants\, recruiting sponsors and community partners\nPublicity and marketing\n Social media\nOutreach: promoting the festival to book clubs\, schools\, teachers\, etc.\nAuthor registration\nBook raffle: (festival door prizes)\nPrinter coordinator (manage festival printing needs)\nDay of festival volunteer facilitator/ trainer\nChildren’s book area\, (storytelling\, craft activities)\nFestival set-up and take-down\nFestival follow-up/survey evaluation committee\n\nPlease select a committee where you can contribute your talents\, and contact Mallory to volunteer. \nRichard concluded the program with a demonstration of the festival website\, which is now up and running.
