September 7, 2018 by Post

TAMPA, Fla. (September 7, 2018) – On Point Executive Center will host its fourth annual Book Fair at WestShore Plaza Saturday, Sept. 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
with more than 100 local authors, bloggers, publishers, artists, literary-themed vendors and local favorite pop up shops at a free event tailored for the whole family.

Authors will be on-site for book signings and conversations about their work, with several well-known publishers available to discuss personal book ventures. If you love to read or have an interest in writing, this is a great day to spend at the Plaza!

“The Plaza corridors will be filled with local authors, bloggers, magazines and publishers seeking to meet eager new readers and fan favorites,” said Karen Gillman, Vice President of On Point Executive Center. “We’re delighted to bring this event back to the WestShore Plaza which is the perfect venue to host to families and the general community.”

Alicia Campos of Happy Art Industries will share her book and a place to sit down and create a ‘paint and take’ canvas or bookmark. The Bay Area Professional Writers Guild (BAPWG) will host 3 tables where their authors will rotate hosting their meet and greet. The Junior League of Tampa will be onsite sharing their cookbook and information about their much anticipated annual event – The Holiday Gift Market by Publix.

One of the registered authors, publishers or vendors will be awarded a $1,000 Business Builder Grant courtesy of Karen R. Mertes and her charity Fulfill Your Destiny.

Both fiction and non-fiction works will be represented, covering all varieties and genres of writing.
