The Southern Lit Alliance has announced dates and guests for the SouthWord Literary Feast, formerly known as the Celebration of Southern Literature.
Scheduled Nov. 3-4, the biennial event will bring 40 members of the Fellowship of Southern Writers to Chattanooga for readings, discussions and panels with published members of the Fellowship of Southern Writers as well as seven authors receiving fellowship-sponsored awards.
Lynda LeVan, director of Southern Lit Alliance, describes SouthWord as “one of the most unique literary festivals in the South.”
While in Chattanooga, the visiting writers will visit with local high school students, lead instructional workshops and participate in panel discussions, according to a news release.
“We are also excited to be planning new events and opportunities within the community that will offer attendees an even more personal, engaging experience,” LeVan says.
