Humanities
Tennessee ... examining narratives, traditions, beliefs and ideas that define us as individuals and as participants in community life ...



 

The Southern Festival of Books held their annual event for the 23rd year.  The gathering was held from October 14-16, 2011, on the Legislative Plaza and Tennessee Capitol Building.  It was a celebration of the written word.

Presented by HUMANITIES TENNESSEE, the Southern Book Festival spread across the War Memorial Plaza, filled with vendors, refreshments, entertainment and gorgeous weather.  Hourly presentations by various authors were offered every day. 

In addition to incredibly informative associations, the Nashville Chapter of Women's National Book Association (Connecting the Book Community since 1955) was present.  Membership and meetings can be explored on the website:  

The Nashville Writers Meetup Group was also present inviting professionals and hobbyists to attend meetings to learn whether you are a beginner or veteran.  Their website is:  www.meetup.com/nashvillewriters

I am very eager to explore the many opportunities that were present to the community at this wonderful grouping of writers.  I so wished my Writers Forum in Illinois would have been able to attend with me to just wander through all of the books, authors and presentations while enjoying the live musicians and various foods!
