thank

you!

On behalf of everyone who enjoyed the 2016 Miami Book Fair, we want to thank our sponsors for their generous support. Thirty-three years of Miami Book Fair have proved one thing — our community loves books and will come out in droves to celebrate, and participate, in the culture of ideas the Fair encourages. We opened the Fair with The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah, journalist Jorge Ramos and international children’s book phenom, Eoin Colfer, and then spent the next seven days in the company of nearly 600 of the best writers from the U.S. and around the world, including actor Alan Cumming, NYT columnist Maureen Dowd; renowned novelist Geraldine Brooks; Pulitzer-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed, more than 25 of this year’s National Book Awards honorees; two poets laureate, Rita Dove and Robert Pinsky; and Dana Perino, beloved political commentator. The Fair featured hundreds of thought-provoking programs and fun events. Too many to highlight here! But the good news is: If you couldn’t make it to Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus to take part of it all, you can watch it online! Visit our website (miamibookfair. com) and enjoy many of the sessions from this year’s Book Fair. In great part due to the support of sponsors like you, the Fair has been able to respond to our community’s wants over the last 33 years. We’ve brought dozens of independent and mainstream publishers to sell books during Street Fair and reimagined our children’s programs — giving free books to thousands of kids to encourage the love of reading. Among our new ventures this year, we reimagined our Porch! Comfy outdoor furniture, live music, literary performances, games, poetry on demand, and much more, created the perfect environment to hang out in fellowship with other

Fairgoers. And we launched ReadCaribbean, a program that brought almost 100 authors from various nations to participate in readings and discussions highlighting the varied experience of Haitian and other Caribbean people. Panels in Creole and French were simultaneously translated into English. The buzz of the Fair continues, and planning for 2017 has already begun. Every year our goal is a better Book Fair. We know that you champion the values Miami Book Fair and Miami Dade College represent, and we look forward to working together with you next year on an even better event. Our sincere thanks, The Miami Book Fair Team

The Miami Foundation / Various Sponsors, The Porch In 2016, the Book Fair reimagined and expanded the Porch, and it was better than ever!

Book Fair attendees could take part in Silent Poetry Disco, admire the beautiful Living Walls from Andromeda District, immerse themselves in street art photography by Andrew Kaufman, paint digital graffiti, and contribute to the Wynwood Coloring Book community coloring wall. In addition to ongoing events, we also had a series of South Florida-based performers, makers and cultural events, including an improv comedy showcase with Villain Theatre, Acoustic Carpet with A&E District, The Give Miami Day Block Party, Circ X Variety Hour, and live music from a number of bands, including Inna Sense, Bad Apples Brass Band, Magic City Hippies, and Psychic Mirrors.

Media Sponsors MIAMI BOOK FAIR WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF OUR 2016 MEDIA SPONSORS Without our Media sponsors helping us spread the word and promoting the Book Fair, we would not be the largest and longestrunning Book Fair in the country. Support ranged from prints ads in the Miami Herald, Miami New Times, Flamingo Magazine, and Caribbean Today, to commercials on Comcast Channels, NBC 6 and Univision. From radio spots on WDNA, WLRN, Univision Radio, Radio Actualidad, WSRF, and WVUM, to online promotion by the Book Report Network and Twitter Books, our media sponsors are a large driver of the more than 200,000 attendees at the Fair each year. And with exciting partnerships with C-Span 2 Book TV and Detroit Public TV Book View Now, the Book Fair is also reaching millions of people across the country both online and in their living rooms with special TV and Video on Demand coverage of the Fair. We were also excited to launch a new partnership with Publishers Weekly who created a magazine highlighting many of the amazing authors and events at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Fair with interviews and featured articles.
