You are here: Home / Events / Meet some of Detroit’s finest authors at local history book fair this Saturday

Dec 7, 2015 by Joel Gullickson

Detroit is home to a wealth of influential artists across a variety of mediums, and one market that has seen a considerable boom in the last decade is literature.

With books from contemporary authors covering topics from the history of the Better Made potato chip company to Detroit’s role in WWII, there seems to be no shortage of the talented and dynamic writers in Detroit.

This Saturday, December 12, you’ll have the chance to explore the growing catalogue of Detroit inspired literature and meet the authors who wrote them at the Local History Lovers Holiday Book Fair. This free event seeks to promote work on regional history, as well as several fictional works, all published by local authors.

The event takes place from 12 p.m. -5 p.m. at The Corktown Hotel, located at 1331 Trumbull Street in Detroit.

In addition to browsing the books and meeting the authors, you’ll enjoy short presentations from authors on their books about every 20 minutes starting promptly at noon

Complimentary refreshments will be served and $1 from each book sold will donated to Covenant House Detroit.

Here is a full list of authors you’ll find at the event, as well as their books:

  • Jim Abb – Even Trolls Love Pasties: A Goode Ann Arbor Tale; I Brake For Humans: Another Goode Ann Arbor Tale
