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)

camminando | Lip Service

Lip Service always provides an amusing and clever evening of stories read out loud.

Anyone can submit a true personal story to Lip Service, no more than 1,200 words, generally with a local Miami flavor. Several are chosen for readings that are always well attended. June 18th's submissions have a theme of "Out in the Tropics".
It is a pleasure to see writing enjoyed with such verve by the community. Miami is known for it's many quirks, and local writers pick apart every one with relish. Many authors have become quite well known by taking advantage of the outrageous nature that bouts of severe humidity play upon the lives of it's inhabitants. Carl Hiaasen, Dave Barry & Edna Buchanon
have made lucrative careers on this uniquely bizarre behavior.

Miracle Theater 305.444.9293
