For Readers
If you've never wanted to write a book, but love reading and enjoy talking to authors, join us at the 2023 Christian Readers and Writers Holiday Book Fair for a relaxed and enriching afternoon. Engage in fun and fascinating conversations with authors covering a wide variety of genres, be spiritually and mentally stimulated as you attend one of our free seminars or relax with some lunch and enjoy the fellowship and atmosphere.
An author without an audience is just a book on a shelf. Show your support for the Christian authors at this festival by stopping by to say "Hi". Our authors are eager to meet you and happy to engage in some casual and relaxed conversation with you. We'll see you there!

Our Mission
Helping readers connect with authors and authors share their message.
For Writers
If you've thought about writing a book or are in various stages of bringing your God inspired creative vision to the printed page, the Christian Readers and Authors Holiday Book Fair is a great place for you to connect with mentorship opportunities and learn about resources available to you in the Hampton Roads region. Network with other authors and find the support you need to help guide you towards a successful end of expressing your God given message. Whatever spirit inspired message the Holy Spirit is prompting you to write and share with the world, we're here to answer your questions and nurture your growth from inception to completion and beyond.
