This Fall: A Special One-Day Literary Gathering
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the Carolina Mountains Literary Festival invites you to a special one-day mini-festival—keeping our literary spirit alive while raising vital funds for a full festival return in 2026.
On Saturday, September 6, join us for:
Keynote Author Talk with beloved Southern writer Margaret Renkl
Poetry Workshop with acclaimed poet Nickole Brown
Book Buzz Celebration at Plott Hound Books
Though smaller in scale, this year’s gathering is rich in heart and purpose—spotlighting powerful voices, fostering community, and helping ensure the stories continue.
Your participation helps us rebuild.
Ticket prices $25 to $35
