Founded in 1986, the South Carolina Academy of Authors serves as the state’s literary hall of fame, and 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the academy. Pat Conroy was among the first inductee.
The first inductees did not receive any commemoration, but since then each honoree gets an engraved crystal book. the SCAA board voted to award the Pat Conroy Literary Center the award in appreciation of what would have been Pat’s nearly forty years ago.
Please join us, along with several SCAA Board of Governors, for this special presentation.
