When we published 100 Things to Do in Charleston Before You Die with Reedy Press back in 2018, as part of their bestselling “100 Things” series, we had no idea what a big hit it would be in the Lowcountry and beyond. Its success led to Reedy Press asking us to write 100 Things to Do in Savannah Before You Die, which was officially released on March 1^st.

Vivian Bikulege, Director of the South Carolina Writers Association (SCWA), in partnership with the Pat Conroy Literary Center, is pleased to announce “Open Mic Night” for writers of all types held at Common Ground in downtown Beaufort.  Poets, Fiction, and Non-Fiction writers are invited and welcome to attend from 6 -7:30 pm on the 2nd Thursday of each month.

The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center invites writers to an exclusive retreat weekend at the historic Anchorage 1770 Inn (1103 Bay St.) in the heart of beautiful Beaufort by the sea. Participating writers will immerse themselves in a collaborative experience with our distinguished faculty of award-winning writers and publishing professionals as they share their insights and experiences in the same generous mentoring spirit as the late Pat Conroy.
