Trinity Prep Author Festival 2019
Trinity Preparatory School's fourth annual Author Festival will take place on Friday, Feb. 8, 2019 in the Trinity Prep Library and on our picturesque campus. The event is FREE and open to the public! Last year's event boasted 25 YA and Middle Grade authors and over 300 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 February 1.
For more information, email authorfest@trinityprep.org.
