And while Miami’s annual literary festival will include virtual events for those who cannot attend in person, this year is all about the in-person events. “I’m looking forward to that beautiful experience of being with a crowd of people, all celebrating books and reading and having a great, fun time while doing so,” says program director Lissette Mendez. “Sharing Miami Book Fair with our community is one of the pleasurable things in my life.
