Registration begins for annual book fest
New Location
If you’ve written or pub-
lished a book — not an ebook
—but a book with pages that
you have to turn, then you are
eligible to participate in the
annual Florence Festival of
Books (FFOB), which will be
held at the Florence Events
Center on Sept. 26, from 10
a.m. to 4 p.m.
Applications for a table are
now available online at www.
florencefestivalofbooks.org, or
stop by the Florence Events
Center and fill out an applica-
tion.
There is a limit on how many
applications will be accepted,
and there are only about 15
tables left. So sign up now. The
Florence Festival of Books is
one of the most popular book
fairs in the state.
Although the deadline to
sign up is Sept. 1, the limit will
be reached by the end of this
month. That was the case last
year and applications are com-
ing in even faster this year.
On Sept. 25, the day before
the book fair, there will be
three events that are also a part
of the FFOB. A Publisher's
Panel is tentatively scheduled
for 3 to 4:30 p.m.
Then from 6 to 6:45 p.m.
there will be a meet and greet
for FFOB participants.
