Connecticut Book Festivals is much more than just a book signing events company. We are an author-run organization dedicated to finding high-quality venues throughout Connecticut. We are committed to not charging members to participate in book signing events or to have membership dues.
Andrea and Luca met at a book signing event in 2021. They quickly became friends and began discussing how authors go about obtaining book signings. Both concluded that there had to be a better way to do it. Their conversations continued, and soon, they began to see the potential behind the numbers. Connecticut Book Festivals was born in May of 2024 out of the necessity of bringing authors together for a unifying strength. As Connecticut Book Festivals, they began to book high-quality venues. What they didn’t anticipate was how fast and how well their concept would be received.
“An author going it solo just doesn’t have the clout that is needed in today’s market. Our team approach helps open doors for all of us.” Andrea Petitte
Connecticut Book Festivals is constantly adding new authors and expanding its reach. But the dream doesn’t end there. Andrea’s and Luca’s plan is much more than just to be a book signing organization. They are determined to find as many creative and original ways to help authors further their careers as possible. Connecticut Book Festivals, through its Founders’ tireless efforts, signs partnership agreements with professionals who are successful leaders in their field of expertise. This gives their author-members the opportunity to work with these professionals at a better rate than if they had sought them out on their own.
“Our goal is to help the authors of Connecticut Book Festivals move their careers in a positive direction. We work hard to build partnerships that can make that happen.” Luca DiMatteo
Connecticut Book Festivals continues to search for innovative and original ways for our members to sell their creative works. Looking to the future, we have started our Associate-Member program, which is also completely free, helping unpublished authors hit the ground running. We have live-streaming events so more people can join in the experience. In the years to come, our dream is to touch all corners of the book industry, allowing our members to have every possible chance to achieve their dreams.
