Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Set on the campus of Miami-Dade College in downtown Miami, the 26th annual book fair (November 8-15) is a week-long affair that attracts thousands of readers. The book festival's street fair over the weekend of November 13-15 features 250 publishers, exhibitors, and hundreds of authors speaking at readings, discussions and interviews.

Special ‘Evenings With' programs start November 8 with Canadian author Margaret Atwood ( The Handmaid's Tale) who will read and speak about her latest book, The Year of the Flood, another tale of social upheaval and environmental catastrophe set in the near future. On November 9, Barbara Kingsolver will read from her latest novel The Lacuna, and former US Vice President Al Gore discusses his new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis.

Also appearing is actress Isabella Rossellini on her latest media project Green Porno (HarperStudio), about the sex lives of insects, rock star Iggy Pop, filmmaker Mario Van Peebles, and revered authors Joyce Carol Oates and Turkey's Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Orhan Pamuk.

Of the several simultaneous panels and seminars, covering fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, is one track featuring the Ibero-American Authors Program.

There is also a Comix Galaxy, Children's Alley, Antiquarian Annex, and special tastings.
