New York City is known for being the epicenter of book publishing, and in times past I have often wished I lived in New York--if it had Florida-like weather. But I have decidedly stepped out of my wishing to be there to enjoying being here, and what I've discovered is a flourishing love of the literary arts in my local area. I really didn't need to look too hard. If you are ever in the Central Florida area or if you are a resident, be sure to check out these wonderful literary events and publishing organizations.

  • Orlando Literati put on by Urban ReThink: The Friday night that I attended the opening reception for the UCF Book Festival, I could have gone 30 minutes down the interstate to an Orlando Literati meet and greet. The who’s who of the Orlando literary scene were meeting in downtown Orlando that same evening.

What did I miss? Please share any literary event, book club, writers conference, or publisher located in the Central Florida area.
