Funders
It takes a lot of support to celebrate Mississippi's vibrant literary landscape!
The Mississippi Book Festival is grateful for funders who are committed to helping us produce a high-quality event and making a positive and lasting difference in the cultural life of our state.
Through the support of longtime donors, media partners, and friends of the festival, we can ensure that the festival is FREE and open to the public and that readers of all ages and backgrounds can connect with visiting authors and each other.
