[CASL-L] Fwd: Brooklyn Book Festival Author Announced

[Jane Martellino]

Mark your calendar for this event.  It is always a fabulous event when
in-person but this year it will be virtual so you might want to mark your
calendar to pop in a session or two.

Also, for the past few years, I have flown down to DC on labor day weekend
for the National Book Festival which is incredible.  But this year, it too
will be virtual and it has been pushed back to Sept 25- 27.  Get on their

Dear Festival Friends, Last week we announced that the Brooklyn Book
Festival will be fully virtual for its 15th anniversary (due to a concern
for the safety of our public and authors).We will very much miss welcoming
tens of thousands of book lovers to Downtown Brooklyn to celebrate authors,
books and publishers. In the spirit of finding a silver lining (or
several), *we wanted to share with you good news about this year’s
Festival.* We also invite you to support the Festival, which is even more
important to keep free for our audience in this challenging year.Support us
here <https://mail.tinymill.com/t/r-l-jkhjkujl-uddhlrfuh-r/>Our
announcement was festive and we were joined by novelists *Andrés Neuma*n
(attending from Granada, Spain), *Tracy O’Neill*, *Donna Hill*, *Emma
Straub*, and *Marie-Helene Bertin*o; children’s book authors *Tami Charles*
and *Kevin Noble Maillard*, poet *Diannely Antigua*, and cookbook author *Bill
Bufor*d. See the announcement here on IGTV
<https://mail.tinymill.com/t/r-l-jkhjkujl-uddhlrfuh-y/> or VIMEO
<https://mail.tinymill.com/t/r-l-jkhjkujl-uddhlrfuh-j/>. A fantastic list
of authors will be part of the 2020 Festival with more to come.C
<https://mail.tinymill.com/t/r-l-jkhjkujl-uddhlrfuh-t/>heck out the full
list here <https://mail.tinymill.com/t/r-l-jkhjkujl-uddhlrfuh-i/>With the
virtual Festival, more authors can take part from across the country and
globe including Australia, Cuba, Mozambique, South Africa, and Spain. Plus,
as a booklover, wherever you may live, you will be able to tune in for the
Festival’s unique conversations and discussions with hundreds of emerging
and bestselling authors. That is a bright, silver lining! We are thrilled
that Pulitzer Prize winning playwright *Lynn Nottage* will be our BoBi
Honoree. Brooklyn born and raised, Lynn Nottage is the first woman to win
two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. Her plays include most recently *Sweat*,
*Floyd’s*, *By the Way, Meet Vera Stark*, *Ruined*, *Intimate Apparel*,
*Fabulation*, and more. She will be in a program at the Festival on October
4. The Brooklyn Book Festival is known for diverse and inclusive
programming, fostering unique dialogues among authors, presenting new
literary voices as well as established authors, and crafting unique
conversations and discussions.Join us for the 2020 Virtual Brooklyn Book
