Want to Help?

The 2023 Word Festival will take place October 19-22. Tell us how you would like to be involved! In order to keep admission free to most events and workshop prices low, Word depends on grants and donations. We also need dozens of volunteers to run the festival. It’s a great way to participate.

Fundraising

We strive to book notable authors and artists, compensate them as much as possible, and keep as many events as we can free and open to the public. To do that, though, we need funding for the festival. If you have any grant or fundraising ideas, we would love to hear from you! Contact us at word.bluehill@gmail.com.

Volunteer

Sign up here to help with Word 2023. The festival is always looking for volunteers to help us plan and run our events.

Suggest a Speaker or an Event

Do you have a great idea for next year's festival? The festival thrives on a diverse group of speakers and performers from near and far. If you know someone (or are someone) who would like to host an event or be featured in a future Word Festival, let us know by using the form on our Suggestions Page.
