Our Prince of Scribes: Featuring Stephanie Austin Edwards, Lynn Seldon, and John Warley

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.

Join 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).

The $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
