About the Event
The Literary Lions Gala – The Premiere Event for Book Lovers
The Gala is a literary feast where you’ll meet and toast talented writers, celebrate the joy of reading and raise funds for literacy and lifelong learning programs.
Thirty popular Northwest authors and their new books will be featured. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the authors, buy their books and get their autographs. Nancy Pearl, the nation’s most popular book reviewer, will emcee the event.
From 6:00 to 7:30 pm, enjoy hors d’oeuvres and drinks while you browse books, sign up for seats at author salons, and chat with guest authors.
From 7:30 to 9:00 pm, enter the grand ballroom for the formal sit-down dinner. The program and remarks by best-selling author Lee Child follow.
From 9:00 pm on, we invite you to return to the lobby so that you can continue to chat with authors and get your books signed.
Keynote Speaker: Author Lee Child will keynote the event. Lee Child is the author of 16 Jack Reacher thrillers, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Nothing to Lose, Gone Tomorrow, 61 Hours and Worth Dying For. His debut, The Killing Floor, won both the Anthony and the Barry Awards for Best First Mystery, and The Enemy won the Nero Wolfe Award. Foreign rights in the Jack Reacher series have been sold in 40 languages, and there are more than 50 million copies in print of his novels worldwide. One Shot is under major motion picture development with Paramount. Nancy Pearl will return as emcee of this event.
