Vendor Application

An Event That Gets It

Middle Tennessee Book Fest is presented by The Whole Author, a Raine Digital company. We support authors and small businesses alike, but what’s more: we are marketing experts, business strategists, and most importantly, we’re authors. So when you bring your shop to our tables, we’ve got you. The book community in Middle Tennessee is hungry for events like this and makers like you. We can't wait to host you.

What's Included

Every vendor gets: a black table cover, power outlets, and wifi.

Full Vendor Table $200

Your own 6-ft table with two chairs, plus two vendor passes so you can bring an assistant for the day.
Half Table (Shared) $125

Split a 6-ft table with another vendor, with one exhibitor pass each. A great fit for smaller creators.
