Winslow shop hosts third Seattle 7 Writers Bookfest

Eagle Harbor Book Company will host the third annual Summer Bookfest, to benefit the Bainbridge Schools Foundation, featuring the Seattle 7 Writers from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 1.

Light refreshments will be provided.

“We are delighted to once again host this event,” said EHBC co-owner Jane Danielson.

It’s an opportunity for readers to meet their favorite authors, purchase books, and obtain autographs, she said. More than a dozen writers plan to attend the event and will talk about their own favorite books and authors.

A percentage of sales will benefit the Bainbridge Schools Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to “inspiring students and empowering teachers.”

“Our customers love this chance to meet their favorite authors,” said Virginia Irwin, the bookstore’s events coordinator, “and get their books personalized. It’s a great time to purchase books as gifts.”

Each author will have at least two of their books available, including popular writers like Susan Wiggs and Mike Lawson. Customers can call ahead and order books for the authors to sign.
