Join Don Ron Books and the Community College of Philadelphia at a special Philly Authors Showcase featuring writers from the acclaimed Philly Fiction 2. This special event will kick off the 2010 POETS & WRITERS FESTIVAL at the CCP. It will be held on at 6pm on Monday, Feb. 1, 2010, in C2-5, CBI Building (CCP Center for Business and Industry) at 18th and Callowhill Sts., 2nd Floor. The full schedule of all the 2010 PWF events is at:

Tattoos, cheese steaks, and the Rocky statue: Philly Fiction 2 has it all. Contributors Elise Juska, Kelly McQuain, and Rachel Toliver as well as series editors Josh McIlvain and Christopher Munden will read from the second installment in their anthology series and discuss the editing and publishing process.

"What I love about all of these stories is that they could be happening to anyone, anywhere. But there is also something uniquely Philadelphia about them and the fact that their stories take place here make them that much richer." —Autumn Konopka, Philly2Philly.com For more on the Philly Fiction books, go to phillyfiction.com.
