What do you like to read? Historical fiction? Suspense? Detective stories? Humor? Mystery? Travel books? Then you want to stop by for SIMPLY WRITTEN HERE: the holiday edition, a book festival for readers and authors.
Our September event was so successful, the shop owners invited us back for a Holiday festival. How could we say no?
Meet the authors—all of whom are local. Buy a book—for yourself or as a holiday gift—and get it signed. Play Book Bingo to meet the authors and win a prize. Participating authors have offered books and swag as prizes.
You are also invited to bring non-perishable food items for Catonsville Emergency Assistance, a local non-profit helping our neighbors in need.
Here are our participating authors with links to their websites:
Look for romance authors (and a few who write in other genres) at a Valentine’s Day festival set for Feb. 7.
You’ll want to stop here for the crafts, too. This book festival will take place at a wonderful artisan’s shop. Crafters have designed all sorts of items just for readers: special bookmarks (some made of wood or leather), artworks celebrating books, mugs and water bottles.
Another local connection: Backwater Books is serving as our bookstore sponsor. We promote them and they promote us. This wonderful shop is located just down the road from Simply Made Here, in Historical Ellicott City.
Where is Simply Made Here? On Frederick Road, on the way to Historic Ellicott City. Here’s a map. It’s easily accessible from the Beltway, Route 40 or Route 29. Even I-95! There is plenty of parking.
Mark your calendars! Hope to see you there.
