Celebrate books that make us believe in love with local authors bringing unforgettable characters and romance to life! On Sunday, August 9th, join us for Author Next Door: Booklovers and Book Lovers, the next installment in our rotating celebration of community storytellers from across the DMV.

This romance-focused panel will spotlight authors whose works explore love stories shaped by culture, community, and the courage to challenge expectations that are as powerful as they are romantic. Each of our featured authors will read from and discuss their writing, come together for a conversation about the intersections of their books, and answer questions from the audience. Whether you are a devoted romance reader or simply looking to discover and support local authors, we encourage you to come celebrate the power of a great love story!

Hosted by Busboys and Poets @ Hyattsville, 5331 Baltimore Ave., Hyattsville, MD. Learn more here.
