In just eight years, we have been thrilled to see the impact the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival has made in the Sonoma Community.

Authors Festival

200 world class authors and speakers have discussed a variety of topics and various disciplines

2,750 attendees have participated

Students Day

14,300 students have explored new ideas in person with our award-winning writers and thought leaders

21,000 books written by the presenting authors have been given to students, all paid for with private funds

Authors on the plaza

5,200 North Bay Citizens have participated in Authors on the Plaza, our free, family-friendly, community event on the historic Sonoma town square.

4,600 books have been given free to the attendees

Virtual Festival

7,500 individuals worldwide attended

100+ online presentations included

Prison Library Project

4,100 books donated

None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and donors.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we could not bring you the annual Sonoma Valley Authors Festival, Students Day, and Authors on the Plaza events without your contributions. Thank you!

We would be honored to have your help in bringing the Sonoma Valley Author Festival to Sonoma!
