We are counting down to July 1st – the day we open applications for writers to read your work in the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival VIII.

This year’s festival will be held on Saturday, October 16 at the Jessie Ball duPont Center, 40 East Adams Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202. Details will follow as they develop, so keep an eye out at JaxbyJax.com

We are thrilled to announce our newest sponsor, the Jacksonville Cutural Development Corporation, headed by the amazing Shawana Brooks

JaxbyJax VIII will be an exploration on the themes of Gun Violence or Civic Engagement. As always, selected writers need to have been born in Jacksonville, live in Jacksonville now, write about Jacksonville, or use Jacksonville as a setting in their work.

Spread the word!
