The Life to Paper Book Festival

Layla serves as the charming backdrop to this three-day literary festival unofficially kicking off the massive Miami Book Fair. Programming spans everything from workshops and panels to open mics and a sweet closing party. Highlights include a keynote speech delivered by publishing powerhouse Jim Gifford (editorial director of non-fiction at Harper Collins) and conversations with Ruby Warrington, Ann Shin, Rasheed Newson, Asha Frost and Jo Ferrone, among others.
