A celebration of who we are and where we live. Three writers devoted to Jacksonville and environs will read from their work, answer questions, sign books, and generally raise our spirits despite pandemic, political lunacy, and possible extinction. The event is hosted by author and artist Mark Ari, Asst. Prof and Coordinator of Creative Writing.
BILL DELANEY is a writer, marketing director and higher education professional from Jacksonville whose writing focuses on the culture and history of the First Coast. He is a co-owner and editor of publications The Jaxson, Modern Cities, and Edible Northeast Florida magazine. His work focuses on the underknown and underrepresented stories of Jacksonville. He is a cofounder of TheJaxsonMag.com, an online publication that explores history, culture and urbanism in Jacksonville, and is a co-owner and editor of Edible Northeast Florida magazine, a bimonthly magazine covering the local food scene.
