If you (or an author you represent) are interested in presenting a new title at the 2026 Twin Cities Book Festival, you may submit your book to be considered for inclusion (showcase readings, stage events, children’s activities, book signings, etc.). Books submitted for consideration must be published between November 2025 and November 2026. See further guidelines here.

If you are interested in sponsoring the Twin Cities Book Festival, please reach out to Executive Director Eric Lorberer at bookfest [at] raintaxi [dot] com.

Past volunteer jobs have included greeting visitors, assisting with stage events, helping with kids’ programming, working the used book and record sale, checking in exhibitors the day before the festival, staffing the Rain Taxi merch table and VIP member area, and more. We hope you'll join the team!
