Author's Application- Pavilion

Securing table space at the 5th Annual Dogwood Artisan Showcase is one of the most powerful opportunities an author can invest in—it transforms them from a name on a page into a living presence in the community.

By purchasing a table, authors gain a dedicated platform to showcase their books, connect face-to-face with readers, and build lasting relationships with fellow creatives and industry professionals.

 It’s not just about selling copies; it’s about creating an immersive experience where attendees can discover new voices, ask questions, and walk away with signed editions that carry personal meaning.

For authors, table space is both a marketing tool and a storytelling stage, offering visibility, credibility, and the chance to turn casual browsers into loyal fans.
