Join us on Saturday, March 6, 2027, for the 
Dahlonega Literary Festival at the Holly Theater! 

(Thank you for coming out to the 2026 North Georgia Regional Book Fair on Saturday, September 12!)

 

The North Georgia Regional Book Fair (held in September) celebrates emerging and aspiring writers from the southeast and is a joint effort of the Dahlonega Literary Festival and the English Department of the University of North Georgia. Authors are chosen through an application process, and they pay a fee for a table at the event where they can sell and promote their own books.

​

The Dahlonega Literary Festival is held the first Saturday in March featuring established well-known authors who participate in panels, presentations, book signings, etc. All book sales and signings at DLF flow through an onsite bookstore managed by a professional bookseller (currently Bookmiser).

Author participation at DLF is by invitation only.

FRAUD WARNING: We have had reports of spoofed emails claiming to be from the North Georgia Regional Book Fair or from the Dahlonega Literary Festival inviting authors to one of these events and asking for money. If the email address does not match the person sending it, do not respond. If you would like to check the legitimacy of any email you receive, please contact Laura Getty (laura.getty@ung.edu).
