Read Local San Diego (RLSD) is a nonprofit marketing coalition whose mission it is to raise awareness of the expansive literary community throughout San Diego County, to foster a meaningful connection between local authors and readers, and to enrich the lives of readers through ongoing events and outreach programs.

➢ To raise awareness of San Diego’s literary community, Read Local San Diego will establish a market for books and published material created by San Diego residents that nurtures these local authors, publishers, and reading. At the same time, we bring cohesion to San Diego’s diverse literary community.

➢ To foster a meaningful connection between readers and authors, Read Local San Diego will offer authors valuable opportunities to create excitement about their books. We provide an expanded market for publishers and authors. We support readers and reading by creating opportunities for readers to “touch greatness”—to develop a personal relationship with authors.

➢ To enrich the lives of readers, Read Local San Diego will offer ongoing events and outreach programs. We encourage the process of discovery—by delivering books to a new audience of readers and expanding awareness of our wonderful, homegrown authors.

Writers dream of creating connections with readers.

Readers cherish books to which they feel personally connected.

That’s what Read Local San Diego is all about—connection.

GET CONNECTED NOW!

Thanks to all the  authors who participated  and all the volunteers, as well as readers who came by to support local authors. The literary talent in San Diego is truly amazing.

Thanks, too, to Horton Plaza, O’Brothers Restaurant, Russ Zinzer of Side Jobz for the tremendous music throughout the day, and Rob Carona for entertainment during the reception.

Here is a video of snapshots put together by Carolyn Matteo. Thank you, Carolyn.
