The more prolific authors appear to have the better chance for an invitation. To be considered for the 2019 festival, an author must have had a new book published between September 2017 and Feb. 19, 2019, or a trade paperback reprint published between March 2018 and Feb. 19, 2019. There are other criteria as well.
Nominations for invitations to appear on a presenting stage for 2020 will open in late summer of 2019, and authors may nominate themselves.
