Latin fever moves off the pop charts and onto the page this weekend, with a panel of three writers discussing Hispanic literature in America at the fourth annual Latino Expo tomorrow.

Authors Esmeralda Santiago, Ed Morales and Angie Cruz will meet in Midtown to talk about the boom in Latino letters and how new writers can get their work published.

Morales, poet, journalist and author of “Living in Spanglish: the Search for Latino Identity in America,” says he’s hoping that the new wave of novelists can gain the kind of footing in fiction that Latino musicians like Jennifer Lopez enjoy among pop music fans.

The Latino Expo, sponsored by the New York Post, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomorrow, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Marriott Marquis Hotel, Broadway at 45th St., (212) 631-7547, http://www.latinexpo.com.
