Dallas Is Lit! Book & Author Fair

The community book & author fair is back and bigger than ever! Happening this year at the Oak Cliff Assembly and co-presented by Apprentice Creative Space, the book & author fair will bring together dozens of local literary and literary-adjacent businesses and organizations, from writing clubs to craft supplies, book stores to libraries–and of course, your favorite local authors selling and signing their work.

Plus, next door in Apprentice Creative Space, we’ll have a series of activation events, including bilingual story time, a Lyceum Series literary conversation, a “Hot Ones” style literary panel with local hot sauces, and a community open mic.
