Writers Road Show connects readers to authors in four rural libraries and venues

The Writers Road Show returns for a second year starting Sunday, bringing authors to four rural area libraries.

The Road Show debuted last year. This edition will have more authors, events and venues, says Joan Sherif, director of the Northwestern Regional Library.

But the focus remains on connecting writers to readers in Surry, Stokes, Alleghany and Yadkin counties.

“We're so glad to have authors who like to meet their readers and can talk with them about what they're writing about, both about the process and the content,” she says.

Sherif says most of the writers have a connection to North Carolina. They include author Dale Neal, who grew up in Winston-Salem and is now based in Asheville.

The Writer’s Road Show coincides with National Library Week.
