This year's Brooklyn Book Festival was truly amazing! The biggest book fest that I've ever seen. The author readings, events for the youth, spoken word sessions, lectures, chats with authors covered the municipal court park in downtown Brooklyn and overflowed into the nearby venues (e.g., Brooklyn Historical Society). The crowd was huge - filled with lovers of the literary arts, poets and authors!


I had a great opportunity to pick up some new titles (seven to be exact - I would've bought more but my bag was full....ha!), chat with writers about their creative process and network with publishers (writers, check out Color Page publishers!).


A special shout out to the authors that I support and you should too - J-Elijah (author of "I Got the Revelation..."), Sandra Lakeland (author of "Six Feet From the Ledge"), Grace F Edwards (author os "The Blind Alley"), Wayne Small (author of "The Pumpkin that Hated Halloween"), Eric Watts (author of "Cellar Door Volume I: Secrets") and Odi Mumba Kwamdela (author of "Soul in the Wilderness")!!
