ATHENS-The fourth annual Catfish Literary Festival is headed to the Athens-Limestone
County Public Library on Saturday, April 28th.
This one-day festival will feature 20 writers, including Limestone County writer
Jerry R. Barksdale, author of Cornbread Chronicles, and David Howard, author of
non-fiction crime saga Chasing Phil. The festival offers book-lovers a unique
opportunity to connect with authors. They can chat with them, get autographed
books, and sit in on writing panels and book readings throughout the day.
Khristina Chess, author of several books for teens, will be returning to the
festival for a third time. She feels literary festivals provide a unique chance
for interaction between authors and readers. “As an author, having a chance to
meet and talk with my readers in a comfortable setting like the library and
during the panel discussion is so valuable. It’s a wonderful experience.”
The Catfish Literary Festival will be Saturday, April 28th, 10:00 to 3:00. The
festival is free to the public.
