    June 1st, 2021 General thoughts… As we’re coming up on the midpoint of the year, I thought it would be a useful exercise to walk through my current thinking on the macro landscape, various asset classes, and what is at the top on my monitor list as we move into the second half of the year. Economic setup: The recovery in the U.S. economy off of last March/April’s lockdown lows has been impressive to say the least and has taken many by surprise (including myself) with how swiftly it has occurred.

A book festival is a series of one-time, unique events which builds community and sparks the imagination of its attendees as they interact with the participating authors and illustrators who have contributed to our literary culture and are all gathered in one place on the same day. Most book festivals are open to the public for free, so it is necessary to obtain presenters who are willing to come for free or possibly for just reasonable travel expenses, including a keynote speaker if there is one. Since a book festival is planned from the ground up, listed below are the areas that will help in organizing one. None of them are mutually exclusive of the others. Each item will be addressed within the toolkit.
