Liverpool Book Festival is being hosted by local magazine, marketing and PR company, La Vida Liverpool. The aim is to provide a platform for local authors — connecting them with fellow authors, publishers and industry experts and a great opportunity to sell their books to enthusiasts. For avid readers, it’s a chance to meet the authors directly, ask them questions and get their purchased books signed in person.

La Vida Liverpool’s Justin Hopper said: “I’ve owned La Vida Liverpool for 7 years now and have promoted many different people, businesses, charities and events. Every time I do marketing and PR for authors it always strikes me how difficult it is for them to get their books out there and sell direct to readers without having to go through big online platforms that charge huge commissions.”
He continued: “As a writer myself, I am passionate about supporting creatives and I’m proud to have done that really well through La Vida these past 7 years. With Liverpool Book Festival, I’m aiming to take that one step further for writers — connecting them with book lovers in a fun event with loads going on! I’m making it really affordable for all too — that’s very important to me.”

The festival has received an incredible response since being announced, therefore the adjacent venue, Make, will also be utilised for the event — meaning increased capacity and even more book lovers connecting with authors. There are two very special charity partners to be announced soon too — meaning that everyone wins at Liverpool Book Festival.
Tickets to the festival are just £10 and there are big plans for it to be hosted bi-annually. The event aims to offer more than a standard book fair — with lots going on throughout the day and something for everyone, whilst celebrating the rich literary talent in Merseyside. There will also be free workshops for both children and adults available — from poetry to illustration.

Justin summarised: “There are so many talented authors in our region and so many people love reading so I’m excited about providing this platform to bring them together. It’s tough for authors to get noticed and you can’t beat a good physical copy, so it’s a win win situation — in a digital world with artificial intelligence we must fight to keep our creativity alive and I’m hoping this festival will help in some small way.”
