The JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival is grateful to owner Ron Chamblin, manager Jennifer O’Donnell, and the entire staff at Chamblin Bookmine for their generous support of Jacksonville writers writing Jacksonville.

Visit Chamblin’s Uptown bookstore at 215 N. Laura Street (in the block next to the Jacksonville Public Library) to purchase the books of JaxbyJax authors, then bring them to the festival on Saturday, November 16th to have them signed after hearing the authors read.

Join us for the author meet-n-greet at MOCA from 5-7 pm. We can’t wait to say hello.

We are honored to welcome Sarah Maples to the JaxbyJax Literary Arts Festival.
