Lit Carnivale aims to be a fan-fueled book fair; the marriage of a reading conference and a trade show, where books, genres, and authors are the stars of the show.
Lit Carnivale wants to cater to readers, book lovers, and fanboys and girls of all ages with interactive bookish games, panels, workshops, and more.
Lit Carnivale also wants to create or provide a place for local literary talent to be discovered by creating a community directory.
Whether you read one hundred books a year, one book a year, or only read books when a film version comes out, Lit Carnivale is meant for you.
Our aim is to be an entertaining outlet that supports literacy while having fun and indulging in bookish and geekish whimsy. Whether you love classic literature, speculative fiction, crime dramas, biographies, or cookbooks, Lit Carnivale should have something for you.
Lit Carnivale is a grassroots movement to bring a fan-fueled book fair to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA (#coastalvirginia) and show the world that Virginia is for Booklovers!
Lit Carnivale aims to create an event with free general admission while offering more or special bookish indulgences at an affordable price.
