Manaus (AM) – The Sesc Amazonas Book Fair started on the 5th, and continues until the 8th, at the Vasco Vasques Convention Center, located on Avenida Constantino Nery, Chapada neighborhood. And during the literary event, Valer will hold autograph sessions with some of its indigenous authors, Jaime Diákara and Ytanajé Cardoso, at 7:30 pm, at the publisher’s stand.
According to Professor Neiza Teixeira, PhD in Philosophy and editorial coordinator at Valer, it is Valer’s tradition to bring readers and authors together and hold this unique meeting at the event.
“Literary fairs are places where readers can meet authors, considering that they are also programmed for this purpose. The Sesc fair has a Café Literário, where readers can listen to their favorite authors or meet new ones, and the publisher Valer will organize several autograph sessions at its stand, aiming to promote meetings between authors and readers”,
