Jax Book Fest 2018 banner

 

The second annual Jax Book Fest will be held on Saturday, March 3rd from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Jacksonville Public Library, 303 N. Laura Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202.

Meet and mingle with local and best-selling authors, purchase books, attend workshops and talks on your favorite genres, and more.

There will be events for book lovers, writers, educators, and children.  Free and open to the public;  no registration or ticket required.

Your Scribbler will be holding her breath (and turning a lovely shade of ocean blue) until the JPL Local Author Collection is unveiled at Book Fest. Will Sewing Holes make the cut? Sure hope so, because I’m waiting to exhale!

Setting Your Story On Stage – with Al Pergande

Al Pergande

“You’ve written a great short story. Transform it into a great play,” says Al Pergande, playwright, critic, and speaker at the February 2018 Orlando FWA meeting held at the University Club in Winter Park on Wednesday, February 7th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. Pergande will discuss 1) how plays differ from Short Stories and other literary forms, 2) the internal structural elements of a play – the Character Wheel, The Hero’s Journey, and Theatricality, and 3) how to format professionally and submit successfully. According to Pergande, “Theater – it looks so easy until you try it.” So, give it a try. The meeting is free and open to the public. Contact Rik Feeney at usabookcoach@gmail.com for more information.
