Last fall, I had the pleasure of being an on-site photo editor for the Texas Book Festival. The photography team, led by Bob Daemmrich, included Deborah Cannon, Laura Skelding and Marjorie Kamys Cotera.

Lots of great photography events including talks and book signings with Pete Souza, Kenny Braun, Wyatt McSpadden, Pete Beste, Jay B Sauceda, and Casey Dunn.

Highlights from the 2018 Texas Book Festival can be viewed here. Check out some of my favorite photos below!

Call for Entries! Self-Published Photo Books and Zines

The Austin Center for Photography is looking for self-published photo books and zines to sell at the Texas Book Festival October 22-23, 2011. The Texas Book Festival attracts over 40,000 visitors in downtown Austin every year. ACP is excited to be a part of it and to share the world of photo books with a large audience. There is no charge to submit materials and proceeds from any sale are split 70-30 between the artist and ACP (with the artist receiving 70%).

If you would like to have your publication considered please submit:

  • Two copies of your zine or one copy of your book
  • Your sale price
  • Self-addressed postage-paid envelope (if you want your submission returned)
  • Full contact information including web site, email address, phone number, and mailing address

All materials should be sent to the following address to be received by October 8, 2011:

Austin Center for Photography Attn: Book Festival 1211-B Marshall Lane Austin, Texas 78703

Fine Print: Submissions will be reviewed by members of the ACP Board of Trustees. Accepted artists will be notified by email. If your submission is not accepted or if it is accepted but does not sell during the festival, it will be returned to you in the postage-paid return envelope if provided -- otherwise it will be considered as a donation to ACP.
