The 2012 New Orleans Bookfair & Media Expo

Finally, some news on this year’s New Orleans Bookfair & Media Expo! We were ready this time last week, but weather has its way of delaying plans. It took longer than I’d ever hoped or expected, but we’re ready to make some more headway towards this year’s event.

The 2012 New Orleans Bookfair & Media Expo is scheduled for Saturday, November 17th at 725 Magazine St. in the Warehouse District (it’s directly across from the Crescent City Farmers Market) from 11am-6pm. It’s an awesome garage with skylights and a vibe that will remind people of the Expo’s early days at TwiRoPa, and a little bit of the CAC as well.

We tried for a Frenchmen St. venue but couldn’t find a viable space for this year–but that doesn’t mean we’re leaving Frenchmen St. out of the Bookfair. We’re planning a nighttime event for the area that we’ll announce soon.

In the meantime, you can sign up for table space for this year’s event by going to the right sidebar. You can pay immediately with a credit card or download the form and send in payment.

Stay tuned for updates!
