An exclusive and extraordinary opportunity for you to experience HOMEGROWN: A WRITERS’ EXCHANGE, which will include jam-packed informational sessions, workshops, and live panels with 20+ of the most talented and highly acclaimed authors & writers in the south. This event is free and open to the public and includes specially planned sessions for a young adult (YA) student population. Plan to spend the entire day with wide ranging topical sessions full of inspiration & creativity as these authors share their craft and passion with you.
For Writers: Get the “inside scoop” and insight on the publishing industry and how to increase your chances for publication.
For Readers: See & hear some of your favorite authors discuss their books and writing process. Buy their books … And get them signed!
