Registration has begun for the 2013 Local Authors Expo,
presented by the Friends of the Birmingham Public Library. To be held on
February 2, the annual Expo provides an opportunity for authors from the
Birmingham area and elsewhere in Alabama to meet their reading public,
autograph copies of their books, and network with others in the writing
community.
Every year the library hosts up to 100 authors. Those
already scheduled to attend the 2013 event include Jessie Crawford Jr. (the Leroy children’s series), J. D. Weeks (Birmingham: A Postcard Tour), Suzanne
Johnson (Royal Street), Carolyn
McKinstry (While the World Watched),
and many more.
Any authors who wish to sign up for a booth at the event may
do so online at the
EventBrite registration page. There is a $5 booth fee for participants,
but attending the Expo will be free for the general public, no registration
required.
For more information, contact Jared Millet at (205)
