Rain Taxi is proud to present its twentieth annual Twin Cities Book Festival! While it won’t be packing two buildings at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds as usual, the nonprofit organization is unveiling a virtual version of its beloved book celebration instead. “It’s been a challenge, but we are about challenge,” says Rain Taxi Executive Director and the TCBF’s artistic director, Eric Lorberer. “And we are excited to pivot to a digital format in this anniversary year because it will allow our loyal crowd of home-town festival goers to come together with our friends across the country, and even the world.” The 2020 TCBF features a lineup of over three dozen authors writing in a wide variety of genres, and for a wide variety of ages. This year’s Twin Cities Book Festival will feature many authors such as those below; for a complete list of authors participating, click here.
