The Mark Twain House & Museum is thrilled to present Mark My Words featuring three of America’s most popular writers – David Baldacci, John Grisham and Jodi Picoult.  Combined, these authors have 400 million books in print!  This event is in celebration of America’s most beloved author, Mark Twain, and all proceeds support The Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Connecticut.  

Mark My Words will bring a tremendous amount of positive attention to participating sponsors.  We anticipate approximately 2,000 people to attend and we are currently negotiating with Sirius XM Radio to do a live simulcast of the event expanding the audience to hundreds of thousands.  The reach of the author’s websites, event, print, and web advertising as well as web, print, and POS promotions at The Mark Twain House & Museum will put sponsors’ brand and logo in the line of vision of millions.  

The Mark Twain House is a National Historic Landmark and a vibrant cultural and educational institution.  We have 60,000 visitors annually from all 50 states and international visitors from 59 different countries.  Last year, The Mark Twain House & Museum had more than 398 million print, radio, and online media impressions and Mark Twain is once again on the best sellers list with his autobiography.  Sponsorship of this event, featuring these authors will garner positive exposure in the press for your business and make you a central part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
