Thanks to our generous supporters, we are able to present the majority of our online shows free of charge (while still paying the authors and hosts). If you enjoy everything Wordfest does to help connect audiences of all ages to the world’s best authors, please consider donating to our Legacy Fund. Contributions go toward an unrestricted reserve that can be accessed in future years to continue to innovate and redesign programs for long-term sustainability. Your support couldn’t be more timely as we look ahead to returning to live events AND online shows in 2022 and beyond.
