Dearborn 5th Annual Book Festival

Englewood’s fifth annual Dearborn Street Book Festival will be held 10a.m. to 3 p.m., Feb. 15, 2014 in Pioneer Park on W. Dearborn Street.

Entry fee will be $25 for authors who want to sell their books. The Book Festival  continues to grow and attracted more than 65 authors last year, who were not just local authors but writers from all over Florida. It was attended by several hundred people.

Many children’s writers will be present this year and children programs will be presented.  There  will be music by “Sax-on-the-Beach” and a coffee and food tent sponsored by Cafe Serenity. 

The Book Festival will also be sponsoring the “Write- On-Englewood” Short Story and Poetry Competition which will be judged by professional writers. Winners will be awarded cash prizes. Submissions of unpublished work are requested. 

The Book Festival  is sponsored by Englewood’s two libraries, Englewood Charlotte and Elsie Quirk.

If you would like to be put on the Book Festival’s mailing list for more information please send your e-mail or address to Diana Harris at <diharris@comcast.net> or “Festival”, 1760 Parker Drive, Englewood, Fla. 34223.
