March is Indie Press Month and Vroman's is celebrating it with one of our favorites!
About this Event

Join us for a special evening featuring three celebrated Angel City Press at Los Angeles Public Library authors: Carribean Fragoza, Lynell George, and D.J. Waldie. Moderated by beloved Pasadena author Naomi Hirahara.

These distinguished Los Angeles writers will gather for readings and a celebration of the spirit of indie publishing, discussing their work on capturing the essence, history, and diverse narratives of Southern California.

Acknowledging the power of indie presses and the bookstores that support them, Angel City Press at Los Angeles Public Library is proud to be a local Los Angeles publisher. In more than 30 years of operation, and now a part of the Los Angeles Public Library, Angel City Press has published more than 135 books that tell the social and cultural history of Southern California.


This ticketed event is FREE and will take place at Vroman’s Bookstore, located at 695 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101.

There are three add-on options for a book by each featured author.
Writing the Golden State: The New Literary Terrain of California
co-edited by Carribean Fragoza
After/Image: Los Angeles Outside the Frame
by Lynell George
Elements of Los Angeles: Earth, Water, Air, Fire
by D.J. Waldie

A purchase of any or all of those books from Vroman’s is greatly appreciated and makes events like this one possible. For this add-on option, refunds are available until one day before the program.

There will be a public book signing after the conversation.
