Writer’s Events in San Diego

Once you’ve finally got your book in your hand, it’s hard to know where to go next. Every community has farmer’s markets or street fairs where authors are welcome to peddle their wares. San Diego has several and we are including the general Southern California area.

Most of them are repeated every year!

If we’ve left one off the list, or you spot an error/update, please let us know!
