The First Annual Read to Lead/Write to Enlight Book Festival at Otterbein University

The Read to Lead/Write to Enlight initiative is the first annual book festival being held at Otterbein University. It was developed by Melica Niccole as a call to action in which she dares readers to Read to Lead, Write to Enlight and buy books locally from the authors who write them. It is her hope to unite readers with local authors and perhaps a select few authors who reside out of state or the country as well. The festival will take place at The Point at Otterbein University (60 Collegeview Road, Westerville, Ohio) on Saturday, September 17, 2022 from 1 pm to 4 pm.

The event will spotlight 7-10 local authors, which may include 1-3 authors from other states and/or countries. Authors will have the ability to sell their work, talk with attendees, and get the community engaged in reading, writing, and involved in literacy activities. Authors will be provided lunch and one of their books will be purchased to provide as a giveaway to one of the attendees. Attendees will be afforded the opportunity to win one of the free giveaways, such as: a free book, kindle, $25 gift card, or $25 in cash. As a way of giving back to the community, Melica Niccole will also provide a literary organization 10% of the profit received from the event. We are hopeful that this event and gifts will have a great impact on attendees and allow others to share their love of reading and writing with others.
