Mission

The principle goal of the Up South International Book Festival (USIBF) is to create an annual literary oasis in uptown Manhattan to generate excitement about books and the writers, artists and others who produce them.

A book is a bridge between cultures and across boundaries of geography and language. They provide a mindful way to speak to the hearts of humanity. The Up South mission is to promote people who share their experience, tell their stories and make reading enlightening and entertaining.

USIBF also offers an opportunity for business, government, education and cultural organizations to collaborate and demonstrate the power and beauty of diversity, imagination and industry.
