Picture
Middle Ground Book Fest’s goal is to blend together authors, educators, librarians, and book lovers in a fun and safe space where we can learn from one another, and find new ways to inspire the 8-14 year old reader. We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free environment for all of its participants - including panelists, moderators, video content creators, and viewers.

We have a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for harassment of any kind. Unacceptable behaviors include but are not limited to: stalking, intimidation, harassing or non-consensual photography or recording, sustained disruption of programs, offensive verbal or written comments in relation to, but not limited to: race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, age, body size, disability, appearance, religion, citizenship, pregnancy.

By participating in Middle Ground Book Fest as a panelist, moderator, video content creator, or commenter on our YouTube videos, you are agreeing to abide by these policies. 
​
Middle Ground Book Fest promises to:

  • ensure that every panelist and moderator feels safe and respected during panel recordings
  • act swiftly if we receive any complaints of harassment or discrimination
  • ​review (and possibly edit) all video content before it is posted to our YouTube channel, to make sure that it abides by these guidelines
  • ​actively monitor comments sections on YouTube to make sure no content violates our policies
  • hold ourselves to the same high standards

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, festival organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the festival.
​

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact us immediately at middlegroundbookfest@gmail.com.
