JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – The 2024 Mississippi Book Festival was held on Saturday. This year was the 10th anniversary.

There are well known writers who come and give informal seminars at the festival for free. As a matter of fact, all of the Mississippi Book Festival is free.

People stand in line and pack the pews at Galloway Church to see and hear the famous writers share some of their soul. There are those first-time writers who took a shot, wrote a book, got it published and people are buying it.

The past writer seminars are all online at msbookfestival.com .
