Sunday, January 28, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at Reynolds Place Theatre inside the Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts

This event is the traditional Movable Feast event where each author visits ten tables for ten minutes each -- think speed dating with authors! Each table will hear from ten different authors over the course of the afternoon.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided at each table. Halfway through the author rotations, we will have an intermission.

There will be a booksigning following the event for attendees to have books signed and personalized. Attendees may buy their books in advance on the Bookmarks' website, and books will be available for purchase at the event.

Registered attendees will receive author announcement updates and information about buying discounted book bundles as announced.

Ticket options:

Individual tickets for this event are $60(plus tax & fees).

Table tickets for this event are $425.00(plus tax & fees); each table seats eight guests.
