Mission
The Nantucket Book Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded to celebrate and promote the joys and rewards of reading, writing, and literacy. The Foundation endeavors to partner with other non-profits, media, businesses, schools, underwriters and individuals to present an annual quality Festival that honors national, regional and local authors and the rich culture of the written word. The Festival seeks to benefit the breadth of the community by hosting a variety of events, including author readings and presentations, panel discussions, book signings, workshops, writing competitions, school programs, gatherings, and conversations, as well as incorporating other allied arts.
