For writers, the combination is great, especially writers who are launching new books."
Opening day will feature a lecture by Los Angeles Times Editor-in-Chief Davan Maharaj, who will assess contemporary journalism and spotlight where he believes the industry is going.
The reservation-only talk is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Feb. 4, at the UCR University Theatre.
