LA's 5 Best Annual Book Festivals
There are many literary events in Los Angeles, the most notable being the annual Los Angles Times Festival of Books. In addition to that festival, there are four other major book fairs throughout the year that represent the communities, cultures and perspectives of what makes L.A. one of the most unique literary cities in the USA. Read on to find out more.
1. The Literary Women’s Festival of Authors
The Literary Women’s Festival of Authors is held annually for one day in March at the Long Beach Convention Center. The festival began in 1982 by a committee of roughly 25 local women. Their intention was to bring balance to the attention male-versus-female authors received on high school reading lists. Guest authors range from literary fiction writers like Aimee Bender to local Long Beach writers such as Lisa Glatt. The cost is $95, in addition to a $10 parking fee. A light breakfast is available before the first panel, and lunch is served. Some of the proceeds go to the Long Beach City Library to purchase books by the authors showcased during the festival. There are a total of five presentations throughout the day, and there’s also the chance to purchase books and have them signed by the authors. Sign up for the mailing list in order to receive information on attending the next conference.
