The largest consumer book fair in the U.S. will be rolling into downtown Miami in November for a stimulating eight days of lectures, talks, workshops and readings along with a street fair piled high with book vendors. The 2011 28th annual fair is themed with the traditions and literature of China. Over 400 writers will grace the Miami Dade College area, reflecting Miami’s varied population with the IberoAmerican Authors Program, the Caribbean and Haitian community will be highlighting featured writers; children’s authors are represented at the fair; kids of all ages will benefit from the Comix Galaxy. There is nothing more exciting than to meander through days of thoughtful minds, careening from Pulitzer Prize winners, Nobel Laureates and a generous sprinkling of up and coming local and International authors.
Consider membership in Friends of the Book Fair to take full advantage of every morsel of literary activity. (see website below)
