ANGELS

Our Festival is 89% funded by our Angel donors.  They allow us to make this Festival a world-class event with some of the best writers in the world. With the support of our Angels, we are also able to keep the cost of Festival passes low compared to other festivals that charge as much as $2,500 per person.  
If you are interested in more information about becoming an Angel, contact Debbie Green Miller.

“My goal is to create an outstanding, world-renowned Festival. I volunteer my time all year to work toward that aim. I give $10,000 to be a Silver Angel because it’s the Angels’ support that brings the most acclaimed and talented writers to the Festival every year.”

Jamie Kabler, Festival Founder
