Mission: Texas Book Festival connects authors and readers through experiences that celebrate the culture of literacy, ideas, and imagination.

Vision: Through its annual Festival and year-round, statewide programming, Texas Book Festival produces diverse, high-quality programs that bring readers together with the leading writers of our time. We believe deeply that providing access to books and connecting people through literature produces more informed, more empathetic, and more inspired communities. Cultural experiences that are rich in depth and breadth are critical to enriching our personal lives as well as the health and vibrancy of our society. Books expand readers’ views of the world and deepen their understanding of others and themselves.
