THANK YOU TO OUR ANGELS

We regret we have to close out the $5,000 Angel category as our space does not permit us to handle any more.

Our angels provide a generous tax-deductible donation of $5,000. which can be paid with a check or credit card. These donations help to support honorariums and travel expenses to bring truly amazing writers to the Festival. We only have room for a limited number of angels, and when we reach that number we have to close the category.

Festival angels receive:

Two all access passes (value of $1,000).

Lunches each day and closing luncheon.

Special evening just for Angels January 29th with amazing guest speakers. Includes a reserved-seating Angels dinner.

Dedicated Angel concierges.

Reserved seating for Angels only at the Festival.

Founder’s Pledge

“My goal is to create an outstanding, world-renowned Festival. I volunteer my time all year to work toward that aim. I give $5,000 each year to be an Angel because it’s the Angels’ support that brings the most acclaimed and talented writers to the Festival every year.”
