WTVI
& RealEyes Bookstore presents
Charlotte's Literary Festival
Charlotte's Literary Festival & EclecFest:
NoDa
has been marked the historic arts district in Charlotte, NC.
Many artists flock to this area with a mission to showcase
their unique talents. Our goal is to provide artists the opportunity
to make their dreams become a reality, as well as provide
the NoDa community with a cultural flea market/festival
entitled EclecFest. EclecFest has gained notoriety and has
become just as successful as other known outdoor events in
NoDa, such as the Art Gallery Crawl and OctoberFest. EclecFest
occurs every second Saturday behind Neighborhood Theatre.
Because of EclecFests reputation and credibility, it complements
Charlottes First Literary Festival. After conducting a thorough
survey addressing Charlottes past, present and potential literary
market, we developed Charlottes Annual Literary Festival.
The Literary Festival helps give exposure to up and coming
and established authors, and involves the Charlotte community
by building awareness, appreciation, and exposure significance
to the literary scene happening right in Charlotte and nationally.
Upon researching other Literary Festivals, Charlotte emerged
as one of the largest markets for new and existing authors
and the Literary Festival creates opportunities and establishes
necessary relationships to support, sustain, and develop this
niche in the literary market.
