"Bridgerton" Author To Keynote 2023 Bucks County Book Festival

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Circle your calendar for September. The Bucks County Book Festival returns for its sixth year with two fantastic events.

New York Times bestselling "Bridgerton" author Julia Quinn will keynote this year's festival on Friday, Sept. 29 beginning at 7 p.m. at Delaware Valley University in Doylestown. Quinn is the author of 19 consecutive New York Times bestsellers.

In March 2021, all eight Bridgerton novels were on the NYT list at the same time, a record for an adult fiction author.

On December 25, 2020, "Brigerton" — a Shondaland/Netflix original series based on her most popular series of books— made its debut to record ratings and critical acclaim. Bridgerton reached 82 million households in its first 28 days online and was Netflix’s No. 1 show in 76 countries. Additional copies of a selection of Julia's novels will be available for purchase at the event.

Only books purchased with an event ticket or at the event will be eligible for signing by the author. For tickets and information, visit https://www.bucksbookfest.org/julia-quinn.

On Saturday, September 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the festival will host its first-ever Bucks County Writers Market at The James Lorah Memorial Home in Doylestown.

Local, independent and self-published authors are invited to participate in the first Writers Market. This is a juried event where a select number of authors will be chosen by a panel of judges to meet readers and sell their books.

Authors must be available on the day of the event and agree to stay for the duration. There is no cost for authors to participate.

The Festival is now accepting author submissions. For participation information, visitbucksbookfest.org. The Friends of the Doylestown Library is a partner for this event.
