Amelia Island Book Festival – Feb. 28

The traditional free festival will offer an opportunity to have a personal conversation with celebrity authors, who will share details about their writing lives and, in some cases, what it is like to have their books optioned or adapted for film or television.

More than 100 authors, many self-published, from across the country will be exhibiting, available to share their stories, and selling their books. For writers, there will be hands-on workshops.

Back by popular demand will be The Kids Zone, fun-filled options to keep young ones engaged.
