The Portland Book Festival selects featured books for the November event on a rolling basis from now through June. The 2024 festival is scheduled for Saturday, November 2, 2024. Organizers plan to feature a diverse group of contemporary authors in conversations, panels, and presentations.

Check the Literary Arts website for more details on how to submit your book for consideration at literary-arts.org/about/programs/portland-book-festival/book-submission-guidelines/.

Literary Arts must receive complete submissions by June 14 for consideration. All selected authors will be contacted by September.

Note that the consideration for self-published titles uses the same criteria as traditionally published books. For the 2024 festival, Literary Arts will not accept self-published titles that exist only in ebook format.
