THE MIAMI BOOK FAIR

THE MIAMI BOOK FAIR
The Miami Book Fair 2018 was a festival of literary arts.  
Over 300 renowned authors arranged to take part.  
In an exhibition of valuable literature collection, 
In individual pavilions in a weeklong celebration. 

Millions of books in multiple languages could be found 
With book signings and musical entertainment all around. 
Thousands of book lovers flocked to downtown Miami, 
For the event hosted in Miami Dade County. 

Award winning books were displayed in a booth 
By the Readers Favorite International group. 
My books among others were sold to worldwide charities. 
A great way for us authors to give back to the communities. 

It was quite an occasion for authors to meet book sellers, 
Major publishing houses, and foreign publishers. 
In this International Festival of Authors and activity, 
Promoting reading and awareness of literacy.  

Many authors gave away books for free. 
They were not concerned with collecting money. 
Getting great book reviews is more fun. 
And prove to be valuable in the long run.
