I'll be at Jax Book Fest!

I’m going to be an attending author at Jax Book Fest
I'm so excited for my first bookish event in a while! I’m also pumped because I’ll be alongside the amazing Jason Reynolds, who was a judge at the pilot filming of America's Next Great Author and who gave me so much encouragement for my book, that is currently on submission.
Let me know if I’ll see you on September 21st!

Jax Book Fest returns September 20-21

Hey, Jax readers! Are you ready for the next Jax Book Fest?! Celebrate great books, bestselling authors, and (of course) READING with hundreds of your fellow book fans on Saturday, September 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Main Library at 303 N. Laura St. in downtown Jacksonville.

September 20: A Day for Writers

Are you an aspiring author? Want to be featured in a future Jax Book Fest? Are you itching to see your book on the Library's shelves? Join us a day early on Friday, September 20, from 12 to 5 p.m. at the Main Library for free writing and publishing workshops! 

September 21: A Day for Readers

On Saturday, there will be Lit Chat Interviews and Talks with three #1 New York Times bestselling authors, the opportunity to meet and support dozens of Jacksonville-based authors, fun giveaways, multiple live children's performers, scavenger hunts, and other fun book-related activities.

Both days are free to attend and open to all. 

Get to Know Up-and-Coming Local Authors

There will be dozens of Jacksonville-based and other Florida authors set up at vendor tables on the Conference Level as well as on the first and second floors of the Main Library. Find your next favorite book, series, or author and support local talent!

If you're a writer yourself, this is also your chance to do some networking with fellow authors or join a writer's group.
