I headed out the the street of Berkeley to check out the Bay Area Book Festival. There wasn't a lot of big names there but a lot of cool local authors and lots of books:
 |
| Author G. Eb Williams and her book Simplifyism |
 |
| Promoting the German-American Friendship |
 |
| Chef Kwame Onwuachi talking about his book "Notes From A Young Black Chef" |
 |
| Betty Thomas Patterson and her book "What's College About Anyway" |
 |
| Author Russ Towne and his books |
 |
| Jon James Miller and his book "Looking for Garbo" |
 |
| Comedian Nina G and her soon to be released book "Stutterer Interrrupted". Looking forward to this book because I am somewhat of a Stutterer. Have been all of my life. |
 |
| Rochelle Riley signing her book "The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of Slavery" |
What a fun event. I have come to know several authors who are not big sellers but are still great people.
ReplyDeleteA nice event. Sorry that I missed this one.

Thanks for highlighting some wonderful writers who we might not otherwise have heard about. . .I often wonder what makes one person be singled out and a 'best selling' author while others produce wonderful things and are overlooked by the massive media machine.
ReplyDeleteLooks fun
