Join the Seattle7Writers Saturday November 22 for a literary kick-off to the holidays like no other: the fifth annual Seattle7Writers Holiday BookFest! The line-up features 28 fantastic authors from the Pacific Northwest, including current NYT Bestseller Daniel James Brown, Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan, 2014 Washington State Book Award Winners Suzanne Selfors, David Laskin, and Ed Skoog– and many more. Come buy books from an independent bookseller, have them signed by your favorite authors, munch on author-baked goodies, and listen to readings and music, all in the beautiful Phinney Neighborhood Center, 6532 Phinney Ave N., Seattle.
This event gets you started on the book-lovers on your gift list– plus you get yummy book-themed goodies, e.g. Stephanie Kallos’ Mrs. Kosminsky’s Molasses Crinkles from Broken for You, and music by The Rejections. Special bonus: While supplies last, Kallos also offers treat bags and a raffle for everyone who does on-site pre-orders her new novel, coming in June 2015, Language Arts. (Wouldn’t that be a nifty gift for the readers who own everything already? Trust us, it’s an amazing book, so this will really give them something to look forward to!)
