Tim Gilmore is the founder of JaxbyJax, a literary arts festival built on the theme of “Jacksonville Writers Writing Jacksonville.” For the first four years of the festival, 2014-2017, Gilmore directed JaxbyJax, and in 2018, thoroughly worn out, he asked Brad and Darlyn Kuhn to take over. In honor of all the assistance and advice they sought and received from him, the Kuhns awarded Gilmore the title “Director Emeritus Ad Infinitum.”

Tim Gilmore teaches Literature and Writing at Florida State College at Jacksonville, where he was awarded a 2018 Distinguished Faculty Award. The Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville named Gilmore the 2018 “Literary Artist of the Year.” Also in 2018, Gilmore served on the Jacksonville City Council’s Civil Rights History Task Force. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Florida.

He is the author of 17 books and the Southern Gothic blog  jaxpsychogeo.com.

Come hear Tim and 23 of his old and new best friends on Saturday, October 13th.
