Attention literary lovers and aspiring authors: Pride Public Relations is sponsoring a "Charlotte Book Chat" this Saturday, March 23, 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Barnes and Noble at Carolina Place Mall (11025 Carolina Place Parkway). The event will be hosted by New York Times Best-Selling Author Omar Tyree, who resides in Charlotte, and will feature a group of local authors: Kenston Griffin, Cheris Hodges, Brian Willis, and Glen Wright.
“This event is an opportunity to celebrate and support the talented authors we have here in Charlotte,” Nepherterra Estrada, partner and director of public relations at Pride Public Relations, said in a statement. “We have a wealth of literary talent in our community, which is why this event has such a stellar line up."
Attendees will be able to purchase books on a variety of topics, ranging from financial empowerment to romance; they'll also have a chance to talk one-on-one with the authors, and have their books autographed. The authors will also share their perspectives on a number of issues during the chat with Omar.
I had the opportunity to meet and interview Omar for an article a few years ago, and I know Cheris and Brian personally. This should be a worthwhile event.
