North Georgia Regional Book Fair

We are excited to announce that the Second Annual North Georgia Regional Book Fair will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 9:00am to 4:00pm! The event is a joint effort of the Dahlonega Literary Festival and the​ UNG Department of English

The book fair will be held in the UNG Convocation Center, a beautiful venue with a large parking lot and a parking garage, both free. (See map here.) Admission is free, and all events are free. Concessions will be available, and there will be box lunches available for pre-sale (link coming later in the summer). 

For authors interested in renting a table for the event, please use the 2025 application form here and send it to Dr. Laura Getty (laura.getty@ung.edu). Tables are still available! Please note that there are a limited number of times/rooms for panels, so not all authors will be able to participate in a panel. Authors will be able to sell their books and interact with the public even if they are not on a panel. There may also be an opportunity to fill in on a panel if anyone cancels their panel participation.

The review process for applications has begun and will continue until all tables are rented. If chosen for the book fair, an invoice will be emailed to you. Since we sold out last year, we plan to have a waiting list available again in case any tables open up.

Plans for the book fair include panels of authors, presentations, door prizes, students selling their art, and more!

An additional incentive for visitors will be the Bayeux Tapestry Replica, which will be on display in the upper level of the convocation center on the day of our book fair. This magnificent 224-foot tapestry is an exact replica of the original French tapestry depicting the Battle of Hastings in October 1066 and the only one of its kind in the world.

If you are interested in volunteering to help out at the 2025 book fair, please contact Dr. Laura Getty (laura.getty@ung.edu).
