I'm all registered to sell and sign books at Printers Row Lit Fest in September and I'm very excited! I hope you'll also be there and will stop by to say "hello."

2025 is the 40th annual Printers Row literary festival on the near south side of Chicago, and it's a big deal. There are two full days of literature-related events for all ages, including children. And, of course, there are many opportunities to browse books, talk to authors, and buy some books to take home, both new and collectible.

I have attended this event in past years, but this will be the first time that I will be taking part as an author rather than as a reader. The Chicago Writers Association, of which I am a member, always sponsors a table on both days of the Fest. I will be among those manning the CWA tabl on Sunday, September 7, from 10:00a until 1:00p, and I would love to see some familiar faces!

Even if you can't stop by, if you like books, you need to attend the Printers Row Lit Fest. As it gets closer to September, they will be publishing more detaila about the individual events and the big names who will be presenting, but you should set the date aside on your calendar now. It's a free event with so much for book lovers to experience. If you haven't been before, or haven't been for a long while, this 40th anniversary event would be a great time to go. See you there!
