πŸŒΎπŸ“š Joanne Lehman of Wooster writes fiction and poetry rooted in her rural Ohio background and Anabaptist Mennonite heritage. Her Benville Community Series follows three Old Order Amish women from Holmes County as they navigate emotional and spiritual challenges, always with hope, healing, forgiveness, and a touch of romance. Her poetry has been praised for drawing wisdom from farm fields, woodlots, and community life. Recent titles include Leah’s Faith (2025), Susan’s Hope (2025), and Fannie’s Love (2026). Joanne says returning to the Buckeye Book Fair has been a joy and that the excitement of planners and participants continues to grow each year.

πŸ“š Most readers can name the teacher who encouraged them to keep reading... AND WRITING! Who was the teacher who said, β€œYou have something to say. Keep going.”

At the Buckeye Book Fair, we carry that legacy forward. As a nonprofit literary organization, every book sold helps us offer programs that support Ohio readers and writers all year long.

One of the moments we’re most proud of is the Young Authors Conference. With generous support from the Ohio Arts Council and business sponsors, we welcome students from across the state to celebrate their writing. Teachers partner with us to recognize excellence, and each year we get to hand out awards to young writers who are just beginning to discover their voice.

The photo says it all. That’s what this fair is about.

So where are all the Young Authors out there? Hands up!πŸ™‹πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

πŸ“š David Meyers and Elise Meyers Walker are a father and daughter writing team who have created nearly twenty books about Ohio history. In Ohio Eccentrics, they share the stories of twenty‑two Ohioans who stood out for their peculiar ideas, bizarre behaviors, and unforgettable antics, including a Native American who accurately predicted a solar eclipse in 1806. They say the Buckeye Book Fair is a highlight each year because it gives them a chance to connect with readers and writers they might not meet anywhere else. Come say hello.
