LITERARY ARTS & FILM

Florida has long been a haven for authors, poets and writers, and the Historic Coast is no exception. Local and statewide literary organizations work hard to promote and preserve the work of independent writers, publishers, presses and libraries.

Literary events, book festivals, readings, workshops and more honor the history of the written word on the Historic Coast, and you’re invited to explore them all.
