Brooklyn Book Festival
The Brooklyn Book Festival is an annual book fair held in Brooklyn, New York. It was begun in 2006 by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, who wanted to showcase the "Brooklyn voice" in literature, as numerous authors reside in the borough.〔Smith, Dinita (September 15, 2006). ("A Literary Voice With a Pronounced Brooklyn Accent" ). ''The New York Times''.〕 However, in subsequent years the fair has expanded its scope and hosted many non-Brooklyn writers, including Joan Didion, Dennis Lehane, John Reed, Rosanne Cash and Dave Eggers.〔Lazarowitz, Elizabeth (June 3, 2010). ("Joyce Carol Oates, Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Harding bound to show up at Brooklyn book fest" ). ''Daily News'' (New York).〕
Unlike most book fairs, the Brooklyn Book Festival caters to the adult readership, although they also feature numerous activities and readings for children.〔Graeber, Laurel (September 9, 2010). ("Spare Times: For Children" ). ''The New York Times''.〕 In 2009, attendance reached 30,000.〔Rosen, Judith (September 3, 2010). ("Brooklyn Book Festival to Take Place September 12" ). ''Publishers Weekly''.〕 Also in 2009, St. Francis College established a biannual Literary Prize worth to support a mid-career writer. The winner of the prize is announced by a panel of authors during the Brooklyn Book Festival every other year in September.
The festival includes themed readings, panel discussions, vendors, and author signings.〔("Home" ) Brooklyn Book Festival Official Site. (New York). Retrieved August 23, 2015.〕
