Release of The Quest for the Lost Town
Author Emma Palova will celebrate the release of her new book, The Quest for the Lost Town, at the upcoming Third Coast Festival of Books & Authors on March 21 in Grand Haven starting at 11 a.m. The festival provides the perfect setting for the debut of the new title as book lovers, writers, and literary enthusiasts gather along Michigan’s lakeshore for a day dedicated to storytelling and the literary arts.
“I am extremely excited about this unique opportunity to present my new book in the literary capital of Grand Haven,” Palova said. “This is my first time at this unique festival.”
“First, we do this festival to honor all the hard work that authors do. We promote literacy and books year round but wouldn’t have either without you,” organizer Mike O’Brien, The Book Cellar owner said. “This is why we provide this opportunity for you to meet the fans, sell your books and keep the money, and do not charge you for the tables. This is all about you and we want you to know we care and want the best for our authors.”
The annual festival brings together regional and national authors, readers, and publishing professionals for a celebration of books and creativity. Held in the heart of Grand Haven, the event offers visitors the opportunity to meet authors, attend engaging panel discussions, explore new books, and learn more about the writing and publishing process.
From fiction and memoir to children’s literature and history, the Third Coast Festival of Books & Authors highlights a wide range of genres and voices from across Michigan and beyond. In addition to author presentations and readings, the festival provides a welcoming space for readers to connect directly with writers, discover new titles, and celebrate the vibrant literary community that continues to grow along Michigan’s “Third Coast.”
