Mark your calendars for Saturday April 21! That’s the day for the 7th Annual Alabama Book Festival, held each year down in the super unique Old Alabama Town in Montgomery. Not all of the authors and booths have been confirmed, but you can keep up with the official list of authors who are coming. So far there are about 25 authors on the list including fan favorites like Homer Hickman, Wayne Flynt and Gin Phillips. There are also always lots of fun areas for the kids and book booths full of books for sale.
You can also get updates via Twitter on happenings around the 2012 Alabama Book Festival.
Great event! I look forward to being at the
Alabama Book Festival, serving on the e-Reading panel 1:45-2:45 within Old
Alabama Town: Moulton House. I will demonstrate and discuss the application
of cutting-edge technology in my eco-mystery series, The Adventures of The Sizzling Six:
* Print books with QR
Codes, which seamlessly link the text to videos that let the reader see and
hear what the characters in the story are seeing and hearing.
* Enhanced eBooks that
bring the story to life with video clips, shot on location by the author,
showing the reseeding project, spearheaded by scientist at the Alabama Aquatic
Biodiversity Center—that is saving this critical species from extinction.
Hey Claire,
How was the festival for you this year? It sounds like it was stacking up to be a good panel.
