Author Theodore Ward will attend the 2026 Guadalajara International Book Fair for a special book signing session of her memoir “Herzl Street Days: A Brooklyn Memoir,” on November 28 - December 2. ReadersMagnet, a self-publishing and book marketing company dedicated to helping independent authors share their stories with wider audiences, is organizing the book-signing session, which will take place at its exhibit space at stand GG40.
“Herzl Street Days” takes readers back to Brooklyn's Brownsville section. Ward recalls stickball games, handball matches, basement parties, block celebrations, and summer adventures. These stories capture a time when neighbors looked after one another, and children grew up surrounded by encouragement and support.
At the heart of the memoir is Ward's mother, Ms. Roberta Ward. Her dedication to helping local youth created opportunities that positively influenced countless lives. Her example adds warmth and purpose to Ward's reflections.
The memoir also preserves the values and lessons that shaped Ward's upbringing. His life experiences deepen the story. As a father of eight, grandfather of twenty, and great-grandfather of four, he brings a lasting appreciation for family and service.
Ward is a retired U.S. Navy veteran, former NAACP local president, pastor, and Salvation Army head counselor. His background in military, ministry, and community service offers a meaningful perspective on leadership, resilience, and belonging.
The Guadalajara International Book Fair (Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara or FIL Guadalajara) is the largest publishing exhibition in Ibero-America and a premier gathering for Spanish-speaking readers and publishing professionals. Its international setting offers authors an important platform to connect with new audiences.
