The Pat Conroy Center Writer's Residency

You might remember me being the lucky soul selected as Writer in Residence for this event in the Fall of 2023

Me with  Kathy Conroy Harvey (Pat Conroy's sister)
and
Cassandra King Conroy (Pat Conroy's wife)

Now could be your turn!

"coinciding with the annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival, the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will offer our Conroy Center Writer's Residency this coming fall, available to writers of all prose genres. Located on a salt marsh, the residency at MarshSong Cottage provides an inspirational, creative space in the heart of Pat Conroy’s beloved Lowcountry. The residency location is a guest cottage on St. Helena Island, South Carolina, approximately 15 minutes from downtown Beaufort and 15 minutes from the beach at Hunting Island State Park.

The residency dates will be October 20 to 27, 2026, overlapping with the 11th annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival on October 23, 24, and 25, which the selected writer will be invited to attend."
