Kim Poovey & Pete Masalin: 8th Annual Lowcountry Book Club Convention | Pat Conroy Literary Center
The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host its 8th Annual Lowcountry Book Club Convention on Friday, September 27, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry in Beaufort, and Saturday, September 28, at the Culinary Institute of the South at the Technical College of the Lowcountry in Bluffton. Ideal for book club members, those interested in joining a book club, or anyone who simply loves the joy of reading, the Lowcountry Book Club Convention is made possible in part by the support of the Pulpwood Queens Books Club, with book sales through NeverMore Books.
The Lowcountry Book Club Convention will begin on Friday evening with a panel discussion among four authors: novelist Virginia Hall-Apicella (Even a Sparrow), journalist Michael DeWitt Jr. (The Fall of the House of Murdaugh), novelist Pete Masalin (Military Brat), and novelist Kim Poovey (Shadows of the War). Moderated by Conroy Center executive director Jonathan Haupt, this opening session will be followed by a book signing and reception, catered by Debbi Covington. This is a ticketed event, held in building 12 of Beaufort's TCL campus (104 Reynolds St., Beaufort).
The Convention continues Saturday at the Culinary Institute of the South in Bluffton (1 Venture Dr.), with three author keynote conversations and gourmet box lunches catered by Debbi Covington. This year's trio of award-winning keynote authors are novelist Kimberly Brock (The Fabled Earth), public school librarian Amanda Jones (That Librarian), and novelist Rhonda McKnight (The Thing About Home). Each author will appear in conversation with a local interviewer, and their discussions will be followed by book signings. This is a ticketed event.
