About this Event

Sarasota's storytellers are stepping out from behind their pages for our semiannual Local Author Book Fair. From fiction to memoir, poetry to mystery, this is a chance to discover new books and the writers who live right here in our community.


Throughout the day day, up to 15 local authors will be set up at individual tables in the breezeway of The Mark (111 South Pineapple Avenue), just outside our front doors. Come browse, chat with authors, buy books, and have them personalized on the spot.

We love celebrating local writers and the work they bring into the world, and we hope you'll come spend some time getting to know them and their books.


This is a free, drop-in event. No registration is required, but you're welcome to sign up here to receive a friendly reminder.
