This week, from Thursday, June 12 through Sunday, June 15, more than 20 distinguished writers will be on Nantucket Island to talk about their craft in onstage conversations, readings, and panel discussions, and they will interact with readers in several informal social gatherings. Tim Ehrenberg, creator of Tim Talks Books and President of the Nantucket Book Foundation, says the four-day Nantucket Book Festival as a favorite among “year-rounders, summer residents, weekenders…the commonality is a love for books. There is such a genuine feeling of connection all weekend long…this connection has been at the root of the Book Festival since the very beginning.”
