About Us
Born for speed. Built for story.
Our Mission
We celebrate the literary spirit of Volusia County—where racers, rebels, and risk-takers have always written their own way forward. We connect writers, readers, and dreamers who thrive on courage, creativity, and a touch of defiance.
Our Vision
From bootleggers to beach racers to bestselling authors, this coast has always belonged to those who took the curve too fast and lived to tell it. We’re here to make sure their stories—and ours—keep roaring.
Our Story

Volusia’s fairs and festivals gather the most fascinating characters you can imagine.
