Pick up some great independent books this Saturday at the Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival, Saturday, October 3, from 10am to 4pm at Riverfront Park in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival (FiBF) was born from a simple yet powerful reality: independent authors need a platform to showcase their work and connect with readers. Since 2016, the festival has grown tremendously, peaking at over 2,500 attendees in 2025. Now in its ninth year, FiBF continues to thrive, bringing together a diverse community of writers, readers, and professionals. With a steadfast commitment to supporting independent voices, the Fredericksburg Independent Book Festival has no plans to slow down.

Check out the 2026 Festival Map to find all the authors, publishers, and talented writers attending this year’s festival. Hint: I’m at N70, so please stop by and check out all the fantasy and steampunk books I have to offer! You can get your hands on a signed first copy of my latest dark fantasy, A Maker of Magic, releasing October 28.
