News-Dearborn Street 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Submissions of unpublished work are requested.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.
