SUMMARY:Our Prince of Scribes: Featuring Stephanie Austin Edwards\, Lynn Seldon\, and John Warley
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\, September 22\, 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 Beaufort High School classmate Stephanie Austin Edwards (author of the novel What We Set in Motion)\, his Citadel classmate John Warley (author of seven works of fiction and nonfiction\, most recently A Jury of One)\, and Conroy’s friend and mentee\, Lynn Seldon (novelist and travel writer\, co-author of 100 Things to Do in the Lowcountry Before You Die). \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. Register in advance for this event and others in this series at\nhttps://www.villagesocialhabersham.net/upcoming-events

SUMMARY:Beaufort's First Historian: An Evening with Dr. John A. Johnson (1819-93)
DESCRIPTION:In 1873\, during the heyday of Radical Reconstruction\, a physician and former Confederate soldier named Dr. John A. Johnson wrote a history of Beaufort\, South Carolina. The resulting work — Beaufort and the Sea Islands: Their History and Traditions — is informative\, eloquent\, and deeply strange. It offers a unique window into how one white Beaufortonian tried to cope with a difficult post-Civil War present by immersing himself in a more congenial pre-Civil War past. \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. James Shinn\, Jr. is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of South Carolina Beaufort\, where he teaches a range of courses in U.S. history. He has researched and written extensively about the history of the United States in the 19th century. Shinn received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2020.

SUMMARY:How to Create Suspense: Writers Workshop Led by Melinda Farris
DESCRIPTION:How to Create Suspense: 5 Unforgettable Cliffhanger-Ending Techniques \nHow do you keep the reader reading when the average adult’s attention span is 8.25 seconds? Cliffhangers are a technique used by genre writers (who sometimes get a bad rap) to keep their readers reading. And isn’t that what we all aspire to\, above everything? Because cliffhangers are sometimes associated with schlocky writing\, that doesn’t mean we should ignore their usefulness as a craft tool in all sorts of writing. We’ll look at five chapter-ending cliffhanger techniques with examples you can use in your own writing. \nEndorsement: “Melinda prepared an absolutely top-notch seminar about the craft of chapter-ending cliffhangers—a topic I’ve never encountered anyone else teaching about\, and for which she devised an entirely original taxonomy of cliffhanger types that is worthy of publication. I can’t think of a more precise\, better organized\, better supported craft seminar I’ve overseen in my twenty years at Lesley University.”–Michael Lowenthal\, author of Charity Girl \nLocation and Cost: This is an in-person writers workshop\, held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St\, Beaufort). Limited to 15 participants with advance registration required; $45/person. https://howtocreatesuspense.eventbrite.com \nAbout Our Instructor: \nMelinda Farris‘ first career was as a Washington\, DC\, political operative and international democracy consultant. She worked on Capitol Hill\, advised Cabinet nominees on a Presidential transition team\, and coached democratic forces in Russia\, Zimbabwe\, and Afghanistan. Excerpts from her unpublished first novel\, The Fourth Degree\, have been described as The Da Vinci Code meets National Treasure and received awards from the Southeastern Writers Association\, Writer’s Digest\, and The Seven Hills Literary Review. Melinda started the St Simons Island Writers Group two years ago\, which includes critique groups and networking opportunities for local writers. In two years\, the membership has doubled. She graduated in 2023 with an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University. https://www.melindafarrisauthor.com/

SUMMARY:Nature Writing: Kayak on the Chechessee and Write about It\, with Katherine Tandy Brown
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Required. Click the orange “Book a Program” button on our website to sign up!portroyalsoundfoundation.org \nWe who live in the South Carolina Lowcountry are fortunate to be surrounded by its extraordinary nature – the marsh and its seasons\, live oaks dripping with Spanish moss\, 180 degrees of ever-changing sky\, marsh and shore birds\, crabs and dolphins and fish\, the bright sunshine that lights this southern world\, and of course\, water…the ocean and rivers and their tides. In this workshop you’ll kayak on the Chechessee River with guides from the Maritime Center for an afternoon immersion in Carolina’s nature at its finest.Then – like Henry David Thoreau on Walden Pond – you’ll take pen to paper and write about any part of the adventure you choose. Anyone at any level of writing\, from rank beginner to pretty darn good\, can write using a method called writing practice\, developed by writing workshop guru Natalie Goldberg and presented in her classic book\, Writing Down the Bones. You’ll learn how to get rid of the self-critic so that your thoughts flow freely onto the page. And you’ll leave with a chunk of nature writing and a memory of time well spent.Dress for a journey on the water\, and be sure to bring sunscreen\, a water bottle\, notebook or journal\, and several pens. \nKatherine Tandy Brown has explored the world as a freelance travel writer for 20-plus years. She has taught memoir writing\, travel writing\, writing practice\, et al\, in the USCB’s OLLI Continuing Ed program\, Tech College of the Lowcountry\, Pat Conroy Literary Center\, Palm Key and Thera Vista Retreat Centers\, her downtown Beaufort cottage…and nature writing on a sandbar in the Beaufort River\, her favorite classroom so far!
