Authors from the Tampa Writers Alliance (TWA), a quarter century old writing group, will be selling their books in the Tampa Writers Alliance Booth at the Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading. This is a great opportunity to talk with up-and-coming authors, and purchase books at a discount over what they cost through other venues. The Festival, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on October 20, 2012, is at the University of South Florida's St. Petersburg campus, 140 Seventh Avenue South - at Bayboro Harbor, St. Petersburg.
