Thanks, Under the Sun

Kind words for our Book Fair live blog from WLRN's Under the Sun: http://wlrnunderthesun.org/2009/11/blogging-the-book-fair/

You can listen there to Under the Sun's previous radio episodes (of course we recommend Episode 3, Literary South Florida) online and go by the WLRN booth at the Book Fair to suggest new "What's Up With South Florida?" stories for them to investigate.

Back to the Book Fair

gatorlalala.jpgThe publishing industry may be in a tizzy, but Miami Book Fair International promises to be a big, lively celebration of writing and reading.  We kick off our live-blog with James Elens' report from Margaret Atwood's Evenings With... appearance on Sunday.  And lots more is coming.  Fair-goers can stop by to read what was going on at the reading that was in conflict with the one they chose, and everyone far from Miami can enjoy the vicarious experience of being here.  We have a team of reporters, but we'll also be gathering quotes and observations from the public.  Stop by the Gulf Stream Magazine/Miami Poetry Collective booth on NE 1st Ave (that's Section F, around the corner from the Comix Galaxy), where our Blogging Gator will be set up to collect your comments.
