Sat & Sun, Apr 12 & 13, at USC:
19th Annual “L.A. TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS” with music & more, on the USC campus in University Park, LA.
+
If you are a songwriter or storyteller, this is an incredible opportunity to gain techniques from a cornucopia of successful writers.
+
This is an enormous, complicated event. We'll do our best to simplify things for you.

Basically:
√ There is live music (various genres).
√ There are panels, interviews, film screenings, poetry readings, and seminars.
√ MANY seminars are of great worth to songwriters, as they address the essence of storytelling.
√ Outdoor events are free.
√ Indoor events require tickets.
√ Many indoor events are also free (there's a $1 charge to reserve online), but "free" tix will run-out early.
√ There's a nighttime gala that requires a ticket purchase.

===

Following is what we think will interest most of our readers – especially the songwriters, storytellers, and writers among our readers, with separate listings for each day.
