Printers Row Lit Fest – See You There!

The 2026 Printers Row Lit Fest is set for Saturday, September 12 & Sunday, September 13, 10AM – 6PM.

This FREE event takes place on the streets of South Dearborn, from Ida B Wells to Polk St, Chicago, IL.

I’ll be there talking about Slivers and Surviving Sue — in the Chicago Writers Association Tent — from 10am – 12:30 on Saturday (see link to map below).

Come to bask in the vibe (it’s amazing) and stop by to say hello!

I love this event and I know you will, too.

Vicki 💝

Hi — I’m Vicki and I’m a big believer in the power of connection – taking time to share what matters most. I love pondering…thinking about work, family and home life and I enjoy blogging about all of it. Cheers!

        It was. Last year, I had to get one from the staff there and plan on the spot. Now I can do a little research on the speakers and choose which ones to attend. And you know I’m taking my copy of Slivers to have it signed by the famous author. 😉

    I’m like Maggie and others. I’ll be there in spirit. I’ll be the one making mock cash register sounds each time someone picks up Slivers, reads a line, and is automatically hooked!!!😎😎😎😎
