See what WNBA-NYC members had to say about this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival 2019!
Brooklyn Book Festival is one of my favorite events. So many books, avid readers, and conversations about what we’re reading — and plan to read next! What could be better?
Laurel Stokes, President WNBA-NYC
I love BBF! It’s a great chance to connect with other book lovers and discover new reads.
Allison G.
It’s been a great time connecting with women and men, telling them about WNBA and GGR [Great Group Reads] — and even getting new members, and hanging out with NYC members too.
Linda Rosen
WNBA had been around at BBF for many years. It’s always a great experience to see people coming to our booth to learn about our organization, to hear they say this is a wonderful organization.

Feels good — as usual — to connect with more women who love books.

The energy is high and upbeat, and [there are] even more people than ever, hungry for what we offer — which is the whole package for book publishing professionals, writers, publicists.
