Literary Festival June 12

Back for the fourth year in a row, the South Arkansas Literary Festival brings together a lineup celebrating Arkansas stories, home-grown talent and the robust history of the region on June 12.

A collaboration among the SouthArk Library, the Union County Public Library and the Calhoun County Public Library, the festival also is being supported for the first time by a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Held online, the festival will kick off with the writing and publishing advice by Emily Roberson. Roberson has been a bookseller in Little Rock; a newspaper reporter in Vicksburg, Mississippi; a marketing manager in Boston; and a writer in Dallas as well as Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She is the author of “Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters,” which tells the story of a teenager from a line of royals who are the biggest thing in entertainment.
