BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA VILLAGE, FLORIDA – The Historic Cocoa Village Association, in partnership with the Brevard Authors Society, announced they will host the first Book Fest in Cocoa Village on November 3. Admission to the Book Fest is free and is a kid and pet-friendly event.
The Book Fest in Cocoa Village is conceived as an opportunity for the public to meet many of the local authors in Brevard County.
Participating authors will line Brevard Avenue and Myrt Tharpe Square and will be available to answer questions about their work and to autograph copies of their books.
“We are so pleased to welcome the Brevard Authors Society as a partner in Cocoa Village’s very first Book Fest,” said Historic Cocoa Village Association Board Chair Nancy Elliott.
“This will be a great opportunity for the public to meet some of our published authors and to enjoy the shopping, restaurants, and art galleries here in Cocoa Village.”
Gene Vlahovic, Founder and Director of the Brevard Authors Society said that Cocoa Village is an ideal setting for this event.
“Our authors eagerly anticipate the opportunity to get face to face with Brevard’s reading public,” said Vlahovic.
The Florida Historical Society will also participate, featuring several of their authors, including Dr. Ben Brotemarkle.
The Brevard Authors Society was founded in 2015 by a few volunteers as an online society of independent authors in Brevard County.
The Brevard Authors Society is a not-for-profit organization and all services, presentations and seminars are provided free by the volunteer writers, editors and graphic designers.
