It is the mission of New Hampshire AuthorFest to enhance literacy by engaging and inspiring readers and writers of all ages through the exploration, creation, and promotion of books and authors.

The mission of New Hampshire AuthorFest is three-fold:

• To inspire the next generation of readers -- our children and young adults – by involving authors who develop stories that stimulate the imagination and increase vocabulary, and most importantly, who have a passion for making reading fun.

• To make improving literacy a priority in today's family. Parents/guardians are our greatest resources for encouraging reading in children and we want to motivate them to take an active role in their own development as literate role models.

• To encourage members of the community to get involved with the literacy movement, starting with the Leaders Inspiring Readers program.

The NHAF committee is comprised of four New Hampshire authors and one publishing professional -- but all-in-all, five dreamers working together to make reading fun for everyone.

• Jeremy Robinson - Executive Director - Instrumental in helping to establish NHAF three years ago, Jeremy is the driving force that keeps this literacy group going.

• Kristina Schram - Director of Human Resources - Kristina has worked alongside Jeremy since NHAF's inception helping to coordinate the many authors who have volunteered their time to help over the years.

• Stanley Tremblay - Director of Charitable Events - Stan has worked to establish NHAF with our local businesses. His energy and commitment ensures that NHAF always has a home for its events.

• Tom Mungovan - Director of Public Relations - Tom is NHAF's new 'voice' bringing with him years of experience in spreading the word for this noble cause.

• Catherine Patton - Director of Media - Catherine is new to NHAF and brings a passion for literacy that blends well with that of the others.
