About this event

The Southern Festival of Books is a weekend literary festival in downtown Nashville with author talks, book signings and readings. It is a long-standing gathering for readers across the South, and the festival posts its schedule and updates on its own site and social channels.

Our take: Check the festival's own site for the author lineup and pick a few sessions ahead of time, since popular talks fill up.
