For those looking to get in a "bind", the fiction festival held annually at Francis Marion University is the place to be. Four nationally known and bestselling authors and poets, and their avid readers, will descend upon the university November 8 and 9 at the Pee Dee Fiction and Poetry Festival, which is free and open to the public.
The two-day festival will celebrate and promote literature and reading with renowned authors Larry Watson, Nikky Finney, Danielle Evans, and Todd Boss. There will be readings, lectures, and panel discussions. A number of fiction topics will be covered and there will be opportunities for book signings.

We hope you will join us on November 8-9, 2012 in the Lowrimore Auditorium on the Francis Marion University campus!
