Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy

CCPL Zoom Server and Facebook page - "Writers of the world, if you've got a story, I want to hear it. I promise it will follow me to my last breath."—Pat Conroy, My Reading Life 

New York Times 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 50-year writing life. In sharing their stories in Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy, 67 of his fellow writers honor his memory. Volume co-editor and executive director of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center Jonathan Haupt will discuss Conroy's legacy as friend, mentor, and champion to his tribe of scribes. 

The staff member hosting the program will confirm your registration one hour to 30 minutes prior to the start of the program. At this time you will receive an email containing the meeting link. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Karli Gallagher at [email protected]
