FFP at the Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest



Please join us this weekend at the Midwest's largest literary event: the 25th annual Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest in historic Printers Row in Chicago (on South Dearborn Street, from Congress to Polk). This event is free and open to the public on Saturday and Sunday (June 6,7) from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM. The outdoor festival offers the opportunity to hear authors speak and debate their works. It also features unique booksellers, poetry readings, exhibitors, kids activities, cooking demos, wine tastings, and much more. There will be 180 participating booksellers and 200 participating authors!

Front Forty Press will have a tent and will be selling all of our books at a special discount (our back catalog books will be available at a huge discount).

FFP Director, Doug Fogelson, will also be speaking at the "Chicago's Independent Publishing Pioneers" panel discussion on Saturday at 10:00 AM on the Center Stage. This event is presented by The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and will be moderated by Danielle Chapman (Director of Publishing Industry Programs).
