The Greater Roxbury Book Fair connects books and readers in the Greater Roxbury community. Springing from the Roxbury community's deep connections to books and reading, the fair features local and aspiring authors—and showcases the creativity of the residents of Greater Roxbury.
The Fair will spotlight best-selling, award-winning keynote authors Ibram X. Kendi and Jacqueline Woodson. It will have panels, workshops, local author and literary organization exhibitors. Additional authors featured include Abria Smith (Somebody Soup), Anna Staniszewski (My Cousin’s Mermaid), Arthur Collins (Soapbox Sermons), Carlos Hernandez (Sal and Gabi Break the Universe), Delada Coleman (More than a Princess), Ekua Holmes (Coretta), Jabari Asim (Yonder), Jonathan Todd (Timid), LJ-Baptiste (Comixescape), Mia Wenjen (Food for the Future), Phoebe Sinclair (Confessions of a Candy Snatcher), and Raul the Third (Tacos Today). This is a Savor the Square event hosted by The American City Coalition.
