Program

Kayla Miller (“Crunch”) at Edgar Allan Poe Middle School

At the San Antonio Book Festival, we believe that the best way to expand a child’s world is to instill a love of books. The Festival’s Authors in Schools program helps encourage a passion for reading among children and teens. We pair award-winning authors with underserved, low-income schools in our partner school districts to deliver presentations to hundreds of students, tell funny stories, share personal journeys, and describe the process of writing their books. All students in attendance receive a free, signed copy of the author’s book to take home. Making a personal connection with an author can be the motivation kids need to jump start their imagination with books.

Our Authors in Schools partners are San Antonio ISD and Edgewood ISD. We work with district leadership to identify the schools that will be the beneficiaries of author visits.
