Sponsor a Program or venue.

Cash and in-kind sponsorships are greatly appreciated (and necessary!) for producing the Emerging Writers Festival.

Contribute to the literary arts community in your city by sponsoring a tuition scholarship, purchase signed copies of books for a school, or help us underwrite venue rental fees. Benefits for sponsorship include complimentary tickets and special seating, publicity and marketing, and more.

Partner with the festival

We’re seeking partnerships with local and national community groups, organizations, departments, and agencies to help bring Emerging Writers Festival resources and programming to the readers and writers of Alexandria, and beyond.

Make a Contribution

Contributions to the Emerging Writers Festival go directly towards producing low-cost and free literary arts event programming, as well as funding scholarships for writers in need of financial support to pay for our more time and cost intensive workshop programming.

Please contact Festival Director Ally Kirkpatrick at ally@oldtownbooks.com to learn more about how your business or organization can participate.
