The BookFest honors authors who create outstanding works of fiction and nonfiction. The BookFest's mission is rooted in the belief that literature has transformative power and, in a desire to support and celebrate those who create it.

Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, states, “We live in a society that loves stories, but often the storytellers aren’t valued or recognized for their creative visions. At The BookFest, we feel it is vital to show gratitude to storytellers. The BookFest respects and admires the authors, illustrators, and creatives who share their books with the world. Congratulations to the winners of this season’s competition. You have made an exemplary contribution to the literary field.”

Chad Randall says, "You can't teach them if you can't reach them. If you want to reach them, they must be entertained."

Desireé Duffy, Founder of The BookFest, says, "I am delighted to announce Laura Leone and Chad Randall as the winners of First Place, Second Place and Third Place Awards at The BookFest Awards. This year's competition was exceptional, and Laura and Chad should be very proud of this spectacular accomplishment."
