Mission and Vision
Event Details - Time and Location
The Readers of the Valley 2026, organized by Sunrise Bookworm Co., is set to return to the valley. This book and author convention will take place outdoors on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Mark Coronado Park in Surprise, Arizona.
In 2026, we are embracing the romance genre and inviting authors at all stages of their literary journey to participate in this celebration. To qualify, authors must have a published work in the romance genre by September 2026.
Additionally, we are seeking vendors for food, beverages, and activities to enhance the experience for our community of book lovers and authors.
