2012-2013 Authors/illustrators testimonials from Festival:

Peter Cataloanotto said, " In my twenty years of presenting, I've never been to a conference that has the feeling of family as the Frostburg Conference does. The energy to connect and learn is palpable. Everyone involved in organizing the conference is committed and engaged, heart and soul."

Pam Munoz Ryan said, "You are all a well oiled machine. Overall, I simple adore children's literature so I'd have to say excellent."

Judy Schachner said, "I have been a guest at the festival two times and each experience has been very special. Authors and illustrators are well taken care of and the Audience is most appreciative. These folks love, love, love books!

Will Hillenbrand: "I can say nothing but good things, great things, wonderful things, terrific things about the conference at Frostburg."

Tom Lichtenheld: "Well organized, gracious hosts, and enthusiastic attendees- it all adds up to a great literary event."
