Cassandra King, an author and the widow of Pat Conroy, and Marly Rusoff, a literary agent, are working together to establish the Pat Conroy Literary Center. Conroy, a memoirist and novelist, passed away in March 2016.
According to the organization’s website, this literary center will hold open house hours during the Pat Conroy Literary Festival. This event is scheduled to take place from October 21 to October 23.
Here’s more from The Associated Press: “The Pat Conroy Literary Center will be based in Beaufort, South Carolina, where the author known for such novels as The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini lived for many years. His publisher, Doubleday, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the center will host readings, lectures and book groups; offer writing courses and scholarships; and help facilitate other educational programs.” (via Business Insider)
