Ends on

If you've published a book (either by traditional publisher or self-published) and you'd like to share it with our community, let us help you ! We are hosting our third annual Author's Showcase for women and non-binary authors of Northeast Florida. We also welcome authors from any marginalized community; please email us (below) with details. Please note: We have room for about 30-35 authors. First come, first serve. Thank you!

  • DATE: The event will take place Saturday, June 1, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
  • LOCATION: CoRK Art Studios at 2689 Rosselle St, Jacksonville, FL 32204. The event will take place indoors and outdoors on the campus of CoRK, with authors inside and food trucks outside. Tables will be placed indoors. A ramp is available to help with setup. No tents will be needed. A special area will be designated for children's book authors.
  • TABLES: We will provide you with a half an 8-foot table; however, please provide your own tablecloth and chairs. That will enable you to hide your books under the tables for a more professional look.
  • RAIN DATE/WEATHER: Please remember to take the weather/temperature into consideration; however, we do not think weather will be a difficulty this year due to interior location.
  • BOOKS: You will provide copies of your own books for sale, and ring up the charges yourself. We are covering our costs through the submission fee.
  • READINGS: If you are interested in reading a segment of your work during a 10-minute time slot, please let us know in the form below.
  • PARKING: Parking is available on the sides of the buildings and in the street.

We want you to have a positive experience, so here are some tips to help you maximize your sales and your good time:
