The Maine Book & Print Collective will be hosting two festivals this year, one in Waterville and another in Portland. Waterville’s event will be hosted at Head of Falls Park on Saturday and Sunday, August 15th and 16th; Portland will be hosted at Thompson’s Point on Saturday and Sunday, September 12th and 13th. Both events will run from 10am to 3pm both days.

In addition to local authors, we welcome a variety of bookish vendors including other nonprofits, independent bookstores, publishers, magazines, zine-makers, printmakers, artists, food trucks, bakeries, coffee vendors, and more. We limit registration to authors and other vendors local to the midatlantic, with priority going to Maine-locals.

We also offer opportunities for authors who are unable to process card payments to process through Smitty’s Cellar for a percentage of those sales, rather than pay a vendor fee. At our Portland event, we will be able to offer discounted ‘author alley’ fees for authors who need a table provided but have their own inventory and payment processing capabilities.
