Dear Beyond the Book community,

After 28 incredible years, we’ve made the tough decision to pause our festival for now.

We want to say a massive thank you to all the schools, students, authors, and sponsors who’ve been part of this amazing journey.

From author talks that left us star-struck to workshops that sparked creativity, we’ve shared so many unforgettable moments.

While the festival is taking a break, we hope the love for reading and writing we’ve celebrated together continues to grow.

To everyone who’s been part of Beyond the Book - THANK YOU!

You’ve helped create a legacy of literacy that will live on in countless young readers.

Here’s to the stories we’ve shared and the new chapters ahead.

With gratitude,

The Beyond the Book Team
