The Amelia Island Book Festival is so excited about this year’s Featured Author Gala! The Gala will be held on February 28th, at The Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island. The Festival is headlined by Honorary Chairman, Kevin Powers. He is joined by nine renowned New York Times best-selling and award-winning authors including Elliot Ackerman, Alafair Burke, S.A. Cosby, Loni Crittenden, Abbott Kahler, Angie Kim, Michael Koryta, George Pelecanos and Shelley Read. These featured authors will offer something for every reader, from young adult sci-fi to some of the best (and best-selling) crime and mystery writers working today. We also have writers of powerful literary fiction, fascinating non-fiction, and gripping thrillers.
The Gala will commence at 6pm with an open-bar cocktail reception with featured authors and a silent auction, followed by a seated dinner with our legendary Live Auction. Following dinner will be an Author Discussion between Kevin Powers and George Pelecanos with audience Q&A. We’ll complete the evening with an author Book Signing.
