Bremerton By The Book: May 23

This event is to celebrate hardworking individuals bringing us the best stories. Bremerton by the Book is an author festival put on by Ballast Book Company specifically to celebrate Independent Authors (those who self-publish or otherwise non-traditionally publish books). “Volume One” refers to 2026 being the first year of this event. Enjoy a keynote author talk by Olivia Waite, a live jazz band performance kick off, and author readings or Q&A’s all day. Each author will have at least one self-published title that they have poured their passion into making it the best it can be, and many will have more than one title! There will be at least 23 authors in attendance who are so excited to help you find your next read.
