Sakura Blue Studios is proud to present the Writers of the Realm Bookfest  - A yearly event showcasing local authors, panel discussions, workshops, readings, interactive vendors and guest appearances.

​

No matter if youre an aspiring writer, an established author, a screenwriter, a publisher or just a huge fan of all things books! Our festival has something for everyone! 

​

At the Writers of the Realm, we welcome all genres of writing, even though we are heavily fiction driven and encourage our local author vendors to provide a short reading of their books so guest can enjoy and get a taste of their work!

​

We'll have interactive exhibits and games for the fans, a book-ish scavenger hunt, draws and educational panels/workshops that answer those annoying questions in your mind about writing or some of your fav books! Our Day portion is open to the public of all ages with door proceeds going to a local charity.

 

The evening entertainment for this festival is our spectacular Fantasy Bookish Ball! This year the theme is etherial/celestial which we are calling the Serenity Ball featuring Maritime Fav DJ Fayder!!

​

This part is a ticketed event, 19+ and sure to be an enchanting evening of dancing, oracle readings, contests, delightful desserts, and so much more!
