People’s Book is pleased to announce its first Local Author Bazaar on Saturday, June 8th from 10-2pm. 18 local writers and their recently published works will be on display — with authors available for chatting, signing, and connecting! Join us outside as People’s Book, The Inner Loop, and the Writer’s Center highlight some of the local writers of the Takoma Park area!

Genres span both fiction and nonfiction and include poetry, children’s books, short stories, memoirs, wellness, science fiction, graphic, and more! The Inner Loop and The Writer’s Center, co-sponsors, will both be present to share information and resources for both established and aspiring writers.

The Bazaar will happen outside People’s Book, rain or shine. Stop by for a $2 cup of coffee, stay for great conversations, and leave with a new signed book!
