Winner will receive a pair of VIP badges for the 2020 Boston Book Festival, October 24-25, 2020. This is New England's largest literary event, annually bringing together 300+ authors, illustrators, poets, and thought leaders for a full weekend of dynamic discussions, presentations, and workshops for readers of all ages. VIP badges are good for the entire weekend and allow their wearers to jump the line and receive priority seating at most sessions, with the exception of children's events, Writer Idol, and workshops.

The fine print: Auction winner must provide an email address; in October you will be emailed information on when and where to pick up your badges on the festival weekend. VIP badges allow priority seating at most sessions and at ticketed sessions (TBD), but they must be accompanied by a ticket. Visit bostonbookfest.org for more information about the festival and to purchase session tickets once the schedule has been announced, in late summer or early fall.
