Trinity Prep Author Festival 2020!
Trinity Preparatory School's fifth annual Author Festival will take place on Friday, Feb. 7, 2020 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Trinity Prep Library and on our picturesque campus. The event is FREE and open to the public! Last year's event boasted 30 YA and Middle Grade authors and over 450 attendees. This year's festival is shaping up to be even more exciting! Event planners, Reba Gordon, Director of the Rich Library, and English 8 & YA Lit Teacher, Georgia Parker, have book signings scheduled, as well as multiple concurrent panels in which authors will discuss their writing process, the path to publication, and the importance of reading.
Writer's Block, a local Winter Park bookstore, will be on hand selling books. Bring a book from home to be signed, or buy one the day of the festival. A price list, as well as a schedule of panels, will be available closer to the event.
For more information, email authorfest@trinityprep.org.

I love Trinity's Author Festival! It's one of my favorite events of the year. Not only do I have a blast meeting people, but it's a great way to connect with readers and discover the latest reads in our community."
