About the History Book Festival
An independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the History Book Festival produces an annual festival of new works about history, both historical fiction and narrative nonfiction. The festival also takes HBF authors into Delaware schools and other nonprofit community organizations and produces single author events throughout the year. Learn more at HistoryBookFestival.org.

With the help of our presenting funding partner— The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices I PenFed Realty — as well as our program and community partners, volunteers, and donors, the 2026 History Book Festival will be full of great discussions with authors of newly published narrative nonfiction and historical fiction. Special thanks to our Founding Program Partners for their support: the Lewes Public Library, for event promotion and production, and Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach, official bookseller for the History Book Festival.
