SUMMARY:Our Prince of Scribes: Featuring Tim Conroy\, Cassandra King\, and Ellen Malphrus
DESCRIPTION:Best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945–2016) inspired a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions\, but none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course of his fifty-year writing life. In sharing their stories\, his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared understanding of his lasting impact on literary life in and well beyond the American South. Winner of 17 book awards\, the anthology Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy is a collection of remembrances from 67 writers befriended\, beloved\, taught\, mentored\, and championed by Conroy—and no two stories are the same. Neither are any two panel discussions among the contributors.  \nJoin us at Village Social of Habersham on Monday\, February 23\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.\, for a lively conversation\, moderated by Our Prince of Scribes co-editor and Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt and featuring a trio of contributing writers: Conroy’s brother Tim (author of two poetry collections\, most recently No True Route)\, Conroy’s widow Cassandra King (New York Times bestselling author of fiction and nonfiction\, most recently Tell Me a Story)\, and USC Beaufort writer in residence Ellen Malphrus (author of Untying the Moon).  \nThe $25 registration fee includes the presentation\, refreshments\, and a donation in support of the year-round educational mission of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center.
