Chicago's literary scene is bold, diverse, and unapologetically proud of its authors — and the Chicago Urban Book Expo is one of its crown jewels. From September 25–27, 2026, Charmaine Everly heads to the Midwest for this major multi-day author appearance at the Hilton Rosemont, bringing Right Pieces, Wrong Man to a new audience of readers hungry for contemporary romance that reflects their lives. The CUBE draws thousands of book lovers each year and creates the kind of meaningful author-reader connections that go far beyond a signature on a title page. If you are in the Chicago area and love discovering new voices in Black romance fiction, do not miss this weekend.
