A Perfect Blend of Local Culture

Adults will also be delighted with a range of fiction and non-fiction titles available at this one-of-a-kind market. Plus, vintage t-shirts and raffle opportunities for rare books add to the range of treasures just waiting to be discovered!
A Vision for Local Authors
We spoke with Allison Paige, the founder of Finnegan Publishing Group, who shared her passion for creating a supportive environment for self-published authors. She expressed, “As a self-published author, I wanted a place that let authors retain control over their work. A place where finding resources, such as editors, cover artists, web designers, and other creative partners was more accessible and affordable. We are here to relieve the pressure involved in creating a book so authors can do what they do best: write!”
The Importance of Community Support
Leah Donaldson, the Executive Director of Charleston FRIENDS of the Library, passionately shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming market: “Charleston FRIENDS of the Library is dedicated to empowering literacy and learning and is thrilled for the opportunity to partner with Finnegan Publishing Group! The market will feature a variety of books, genres, and vendors – something for everyone! We hope you will join us in supporting local – authors, books, beer, and our library!”
