Experience
Co-director
Dec 2017 — Present
As our state’s signature literary event, the NC Book Festival provides a wide variety of audiences access to a diverse slate of local, national, and international writers and artists.Formerly hosted on a rotating basis by the libraries at NC State, UNC-CH, and Duke, the festival will now take place at venues throughout Raleigh, including Kings, Neptunes, HQ Raleigh, CAM Raleigh, Crank Arm Brewing, NC State University’s Hunt Library, Quail Ridge Books, So & So Books, and others.Co-directors Jason Jefferies, event coordinator for the most recent 2014 iteration of the Festival, and Chris Tonelli carry the festival forward as both an annual event and a quarterly Arts & Lecture series, beginning February 21••••19.Featuring readings, panels, demonstrations, and lectures from award winning presenters and performers, the festival will showcase both traditional and non-traditional genres such as comic books and graphic novels. This past year’s exciting lineup includes National Book Award winner William T. Vollmann, Sandra Cisneros, Hanif Abdurraqib, and many others.Another core element to the festival is the book fair. A platform for local presses, authors, and vendors, the book fair will foster an appreciation for, and a familiarity with, the people and organizations who advocate for the authors and artists we love and produce and distribute the work that is so important to our cultural lives.
