We’re now accepting proposals for 2023 BBF Unbound sessions, to be presented at the Boston Book Festival on October 14th.

We are looking for organizations, groups, or individuals who introduce fresh voices and topics at the BBF. Your one-hour session can involve a debate, demo, workshop, literary improv, dramatic readings, panel discussion, literary games, etc. We are not looking for product promotions, plugs for businesses, or sessions featuring a single author publicizing their book.

You will be responsible for running your session (i.e., gathering panelists), and covering any expenses (beyond room rental and basic A/V). We will publicize your session on our website and in our Program Guide, and we will expect you to publicize it as well.

We will evaluate proposals based on: 1. Will the content appeal to the BBF audience? 2. Does the content offer something different from standard BBF fare? 3. Is the individual/group offering a plausible plan for implementing the session?

Applications are due by June 20th. Selected applicants will be notified by late July.

Please direct questions to info@bostonbookfest.org
