On this episode of Northwest Book Talk, host Patty Grasher reflects on the 2026 Northwest Book Fair & Media Fest, a community event bringing together regional authors, readers, media creators, workshop presenters, volunteers, and sponsors.
Patty looks back at the purpose of the fair, the energy in the room, and the lessons learned from organizing a large author event.
She also shares practical thoughts for authors on booth preparation, realistic expectations, long-term promotion, and the value of connecting with readers beyond one-day book sales.
