St. Petersburg Press invites you to an evening of music, mingling, and manuscripts. Special guests will present their literary year-in-review from retail, publishing, writing, and journalism perspectives.

Find out which of our finalists will win the Roy Peter Clark Award. The Roy Peter Clark Award – sponsored annually by the St. Petersburg Press – celebrates outstanding contributions to the St. Petersburg story and is presented in recognition of the recipient’s outstanding contribution to the greater St. Petersburg literary community.

Light hors d’oeuvres will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Dress is casual and literary, express yourself!

Tickets are free with a suggested donation to support local literacy efforts; general admission includes one drink ticket.

Limited VIP packages are available for $100 a ticket and include two drink tickets, 2 St. Pete Press books signed by the author, a St. Pete Press t-shirt, and priority seating.
