Sponsorship Information
The Ann Arbor Book Festival was formed in 2003 to produce the first-ever Ann Arbor area celebration of reading, writing and literacy. While located in Ann Arbor, the festival is the first of its kind in Michigan and is regional in its scope and interest.
Over 7000 people attend the festival annually. The festival offers authors and book signings, panel discussions, children’s activities, music, workshops, vendor areas, and more.
Sponsorship is available at several levels. In addition, individuals may make tax deductible donations for the Ann Arbor Book Festival. Please note that the AABF does not provide tax advice or direct consult with a tax professional regarding the deductibility of any particular donation.
If you would like to join us as a sponsor of the Ann Arbor Book Festival, and ensure your presence, please contact Kathy Robenalt, Executive Director, at aabf@aabookfestival.org or (734) 369-3366.
