In the new year, Goa will be host to a one-of-its-kind book fair to promote reading and writers. Slated to be held on February 9-13 at Ravindra Bhavan in Margao, the Goa Book Fair will bring publishers and booksellers, dealing with books in English, Konkani, and Marathi, from across the country, under one roof. "It has been more than 10 years since Goa last had a book fair," shared Leonard Fernandes, co-owner of The Dogears Bookshop, adding, "The fair has been conceived to address that situation and to acquaint readers in Goa with the many genres of books currently available in the larger book market in India. It will also serve to make publishers and booksellers aware of the large market for their books in Goa."

Those keen on participating can call on 9850398530.
