Description

There is something for all ages to experience at the Southwest Florida Reading Festival. Everyone enjoys the multiple stages with the celebrity authors who share ‘inside scoop’ about their latest books or what makes a story idea click for them. You will be able to buy books and have the authors personalize and sign them too! Kids will be mesmerized by the storytellers.

There’s an abundance of family fun activities such as crafts, readings, drawings and so much more. Be sure to visit the local author marketplace and meet writers from the Florida Writers Association, Gulf Coast Writers Association and the Southwest Florida Fiction Writers. It’ll be a day you will thoroughly enjoy and one you will want to repeat every year!
