Calling all Austin-area elementary school educators. We’re accepting applications for student introducers at the 2025 Texas Book Festival.

It’s a Texas Book Festival tradition to invite students from Austin-area schools to introduce author sessions in our Read Me A Story and Next Chapter tents. We love having local kids take on this integral (and fun!) role at the Festival, and we’re excited to start putting our lineup of student introducers together early this year. 

If you’re interested in having your students participate and want to learn more, please take a look at the Festival Weekend Student Introducers slide deck. These slides will give you an overview of the student introducer experience and answer frequently asked questions. 

Thank you for your interest! We hope to see you at this year’s Texas Book Festival on November 8-9!
