Are you interested in participating in the Iowa City Book Festival as a presenting author, panelist, vendor, or in some other capacity? Please fill out the form below to share information about your work or your ideas for the festival. Please note that given the volume of submissions, you might not hear back, and there are a limited number of slots available for all aspects of the festival so there is no guarantee submission will lead to a spot in the lineup.

Note: If you are pitching a specific book, we would welcome the chance to take a look. Print copies can be mailed to us at City of Literature, 123 S. Linn St., Iowa City, IA 52240. Contact us at info@iowacityofliterature.org to inquire about how to send electronic copies if that is your only option. If you do send a book, please be sure to let us know there is an accompanying proposal submission.

Submissions will be open until May 1.
