Bay Bound Books
Local Author & Maker Market
Holiday Edition · Tampa BayI'm so excited to be building bookish events for this side of the bay — a place for local authors and makers to gather, and for readers to find them. The first one lands this winter.
The short version
A market for the people who make the books — and everything that goes with them.
Bay Bound Books is a one-day market bringing Tampa Bay authors and bookish makers under one roof. Signed paperbacks straight from the person who wrote them. Candles, bookmarks, art, and handmade goods from local makers. No gatekeeping, no waiting for someone else to build the stage.
The Holiday Edition lands in December, right in the middle of gift season — because a signed book from a neighbor beats anything you'll find in a big-box aisle.
