Authors in the Round 2023

October 20, 2023 | 6:00 – 9:00 PM

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

 

One of your favorite events, and ours, returns Friday, October 20, 2023 at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

We hope you will join us for Authors in the Round, a special event dinner that provides vital funding for the 35th annual Southern Festival of Books. Your participation in the dinner ensures that Humanities Tennessee may continue to present the Festival at no charge.

Roughly 150 authors are slated to attend the Festival, including bestselling novelist and recent National Humanities Medal recipient Ann Patchett, award-winning and bestselling author Lee Smith and Nashville-based author and New York Times columnist Margaret Renkl. And, 40 of the Festival authors participate in the dinner: one seated at every table to provide an intimate dinner party experience among 400 friends and fans of the written word.
