The Festival features dozens of keynotes, interviews, panels and performances by hundreds of notable writers across literary genres and backgrounds. The festival also includes a robust outdoor fair with hundreds of literary exhibitors and a range of childrens activities. false true 737541 90879 Programming continued to be presented in-person in FY 22-23 after being presented exclusively online in 2020 and 2021. FY22-23 attendance was brisk, meeting or exceeding attendance in the previous year. One major change in FY22-23 was that the festival morphed from being mostly paid admission to mostly free admission; only our two evening headline events (both sold out at 500 each seats) were by paid admission with the remaining 100 or so programs presented free to the public. We made this change to remove any financial barrier to public participation in an effort to expand the diversity of our audience. Most programs were either at capacity or mostly full. 737541 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 32 0 true 4 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Shasta Production Services 5105504200 785 7th Street Oakland CA 94607 Cherilyn Parsons Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 139977 0 37715 Brooke Warner President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 George Rehm Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Igor Zagatzky Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 139977 37715 1 false true false 0 15000 763987 778987 Events Fees 711310 54537 54537 Ticket Sales 711190 36342 36342 90879 1400 1400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 871266 90879 1400 X 0 0 0 0 120533 54240 12053 54240 0 153977 153977 5097 5097 13630 13630 19802 19802 0 0 24502 24502 0 0 0 250017 186657 32510 30850 62128 62128 24897 13578 9470 1849 0 0 0 29005 29005 0 4083 4083 0 0 0 8133 8133 Outdoor Fair 90710 90710 Indoor Literacy Programming 78464 78464 Graton Tribe Project 23789 23789 Podcasts 2381 2381 2356 2356 913504 737541 89024 86939 15367 21557 120536 66853 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1922 1998 0 0 0 0 137825 90408 6850 2138 6850 2138 X 130975 88270 130975 88270 137825 90408 -42238 -467 X false false false X 1000960 782762 762932 802719 778987 4128360 0 0 1000960 782762 762932 802719 778987 4128360 1815057 2313303 594 233 304 349 1400 2880 0 0 4131240 546336 0.56000 0.61810 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X false false false false false false false false false Cherilyn Parsons Executive Dir. 139977 4364 33351 177692 Form 990, Part III, Line 3 The festival was again presented in-person for FY22-23, after being presented exclusively online in 2021 and 2022 due to COVID.
