Mazatzal Hotel and Casino Ballroom

 Arizona Professional Writers, a state-wide nonprofit communications organization, is hosting the ninth Payson Book Festival. Last year’s event (2023) attracted over 500 visitors. 

The festival will bring Arizona authors, artists, educators, businesses, tourists, and families to our Rim Country community to celebrate the joy of reading. In addition to authors and books representing a broad spectrum of genres, book signings, as well as workshops and story time sessions for children. 

Our goal is to promote literacy and showcase Rim Country and other Arizona authors. This family-oriented community event is free of charge and will attract readers of all ages and from throughout Arizona. 

This will be Payson’s ninth festival and we are seeking help with expenses. We invite you to participate in this positive educational event by becoming a sponsor. Several levels of sponsorship and associated benefits to businesses and individuals are explained on the following page. Proceeds will help defray the costs of the event and benefit college scholarship funds and educational events in Payson.

Or choose on-line registration and pay with Paypal on the Sponsorship (PaysonBookFestival.org) page of our website. Please direct any questions to me by email to: info@paysonbookfestival.org.
