Ad Space Price Sheet
During its first year, the Bayou City Book Festival (previously
known as Lone Star Book Festival) hosted over 2,000 visitors
on the Lone Star College-Kingwood campus with an additional
200 attendees at our partner event at The Holocaust Museum in
Downtown Houston. In 2017, we will have a range of events
throughout the Summer and Fall of 2016 and into the Spring of
2017. These events will take place at many of the Lone Star
College campuses and therefore all over Houston. Thus, we feel
confident that your decision to advertise with us will bolster
your business and provide the opportunity to successfully
market yourself to a wide range of demographics.
Advertisers will have access to our monthly e-newsletter
featuring updates and important information about the BCBF.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your support of the Inaugural Lone Star Book
Festival. The festival was a rousing success with over 150
authors converging on the Kingwood Campus of Lone Star
College on April 8th and 9th and over 2,000 readers coming to
hear them. As we move toward the 2017 festival, we are making
positive changes. First off, we are re-naming the festival the
Bayou City Book Festival. We wish to establish the festival as
a Houston-wide event and we think our new name better reflects
this goal.
In addition to this modification, we are introducing a new
Director. Dr. John Barr did a resounding job envisioning and
implementing the first book festival. We are just as confident in
our new Director, Ms. Chelsie Meredith, who served as the
Literary Director for the festival over the past year. We are very
pleased with these changes and hope that you are as well.
Planning is underway for the 2017 Bayou City Book Festival
(BCBF) where we will celebrate our passion for literacy and
literary works. The 2017 gathering promises to deliver unique
programming geared toward all ages, Keynote authors speaking
to the level of diversity featured in Houston, and partnerships
eager to promote literacy within our community. I hope you will
2
join us the first week of April 2017 at our many festival
events—information forthcoming!
Finally, I would like to personally invite you to contribute to
this community-wide affair by acting as either a sponsor or
partner. This packet details the many ways we’d enjoy working
with you to institute the Bayou City Book Festival as a mustsee event, an impossible goal without the generous support of
community members like yourself.
Sincerely,
Dr. John J. Theis
Director
