Twin Cities Book Festival October 16

This weekend on Saturday, October 16, 2010, is the tenth annual Twin Cities Book Festival. The festival’s all-day exhibit will be held from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Minneapolis Community & Technical College, located in Downtown Minneapolis.

The Book Fair showcases a wide range of publishers, literary organizations, and booksellers. Readings and talks by renowned authors from near and far will be featured throughout the day. A Children’s Pavilion sponsored by the Metro Public Libraries will offer author readings, performances, games, and crafts.

In honor of the Festival’s tenth anniversary, five sessions will be presented focusing on the “plethora of book activity throughout Minnesota and beyond!” The sessions include Getting Started: Minnesota Debut Fiction, The Changing World of Publishing: Getting Books to Readers, Minnesota Comics, The Great Midwest: Regional Writing, and Views from the Loft.

And don’t miss the Rain Taxi Used Book Sale, with proceeds going to help support the nonprofit Rain Taxi's endeavors, and the chance to try out new literary magazines at cheap introductory prices at the Literary Magazine Fair sponsored by CLMP. Best of all, this celebration of books and reading is free and open to the general public!
