The 32nd annual Southern Festival of Books: A Celebration of the Written Word℠ is underway, taking place now through October 11. Readers and writers from across Tennessee, and the world, will celebrate the joy of reading and lifelong learning through free online sessions with more than 100 authors.
Headlining authors include New York Times and national bestsellers including Erik Larson, Kiley Reid, U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, Natasha Trethewey and Michael Ian Black. Parents and kids can look for new reads too, with several YA & children’s sessions happening at this year’s festival.
