Open your mind to new possibilities!

Open your mind to the second annual Book Fair on the Square! Downtown Marietta, between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm on Saturday, October 3rd. The Square will be transformed into a literary oasis as your favorite authors, books and characters steal the spotlight during this fun event.

The excitement starts Saturday morning, at the Theatre on the Square, with a ticketed Agent’s Panel, co- sponsored by the Atlanta Writer’s Club (AWC). This is an opportunity for aspiring authors to hear an agent with information such as the role of the agent, how to query an agent, and the author/agent working relationship. One lucky person will have up to 10,000 words of their manuscript read. A question and answer session will follow. Information/registration contact the AWC.

Several free panels of adult authors are scheduled for Theatre in the Square during the day Saturday, while on the Square families can start enjoying the day with the “Parade of Characters”, followed by book signings, children's authors such as George Weinstein author of Jake and the Tiger Flight, musical performances, storytelling, vendors row and more.

Conveniently located in vibrant downtown Marietta, visitors to the fair will also enjoy local shopping and dining.

Happy reading!
