Dear Readers,
Welcome to the April edition of Book Bits, your connection to the heart of the Buckeye Book Fair community! As we turn the page on another month, we invite you to join us in celebrating the stories, voices, and authors who shape our literary world. This issue features exciting updates from three talented authors: Paul Many, Eric J. Martin, and Lindsay Ward, each offering unique stories that engage and inspire young readers.
As we look ahead, we are thrilled to share news of the 2025 Buckeye Book Fair Annual Campaign. With every fair, every story, and every connection, we build a legacy that promotes literacy and deepens the bond between authors and readers. Your support helps us continue these efforts, and this year, we’re asking you to help us write the next chapter of our shared story. Every donation, big or small, plays a vital role in expanding literacy, inspiring creativity, and fostering a love of reading in Ohio’s young minds.
This year, we’re also excited to announce the return of the 2025 Buckeye Book Camp, a one-of-a-kind program for young authors. From July 28th to August 1st, students entering grades 3 through 8 will have the chance to immerse themselves in the world of storytelling, working alongside professional authors, editors, illustrators, and agents to create their own stories. Space is limited, so we encourage you to register today and inspire the next generation of authors.
Thank you for being part of the Buckeye Book Fair family. We hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter and join us in making 2025 another year to remember for the love of books!
