Coming to Cincinnati: Books by the Banks

There's a wonderful regional book fair coming to Cincinnati, Ohio, in just more than a week: Books by the Banks at Duke Energy Center on Saturday, November 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

I want to plug the event not only because I'm participating but also because there is

• a fabulous lineup of 100+ authors and illustrators from various genres and formats,

• more than a dozen author stage talks, spotlights, and panels,

• several great sessions on writing and publishing for those interested in the industry,

• a superhero-themed kids' corner with story times and activities,

• and a cosplay teen scene where visitors can make their own cosplay pieces, and more.

Plus! It's an indoor event on a cold November weekend. Best part? It's free and open to the public!

You don't want to miss these fabulous authors ... and they're just the headliners!

Here's a schedule of some events in the kids' corner ...

There will be 20+ children's book authors and author-illustrators on site for those with littles.

You can find more visitors' information here.

There will be more than 150 titles on sale, purchased through Joseph-Beth Booksellers, on site ... and authors ready and willing to sign!
