Join us on Saturday, July 8th, for the 2017 Southern Festival of Books Reveal Party at Parnassus Books. We will be announcing the first author list for this year's festival. The night will include music, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks. Space is limited, so please RSVP here

We are thrilled to announce that our friends at Parnassus Books will be hosting a very special evening with John Grisham to benefit Humanities Tennessee. 

This year, as we celebrate the 20th annual Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop and the 6th annual Appalachian Young Writers' Workshop, we ask for your support in helping Tennessee's aspiring young writers to find their literary voices and to develop skills that will last them a lifetime. 

The Big Payback annual giving day is returning on Wednesday, May 3rd, and Humanities Tennessee is excited to take part in this monumental event for the fourth time. 

The President's budget calls for the elimination of the National Endowment for the Humanities and other cultural agencies. It is important both to call and to write legislators to let them know you oppose these cuts. Ideally, they would hear from as many Tennesseans as possible right now to have a sense of how these programs are meaningful to communities all over the state. Save the humanities!

This year's Festival, held Oct. 14-16 in downtown Nashville, featured Pulitzer prize winners, New York Times bestsellers, local, regional, and national authors, and hundreds of volunteers, supporters, and booklovers from all over the country.

2016 Southern Festival of Books Schedule

With major support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Southern Festival of Books presents “Our Histories of Race and Ethnicity,” a rich and challenging track of sessions examining the ways in which our ethnic and racial identities shape us as individuals and as members of community. 

Read the work of students who participated in the Appalachian and Tennessee Young Writers’ Workshops this summer.

"The Radicalization of Reconstruction," will air on July 23, 2016 at 6:00pm(EST) and will later be made available online.

The Festival has become one of the most popular literary events in the country, as guests travel to Nashville to experience an abundance of authors and their books, along with food, entertainment and culture.

Young writers from Ooltewah, Knoxville, Memphis, and Germantown shine in this year's contest. Congratulations to all nine winners! Read the winning letters here.

Humanities TN is honored to receive a grant for $18,250 from the Pulitzer Prize board of directors to conduct programming throughout Tennessee  in 2016 related to the 100th anniversary of the prestigious awards.

"School visits inspire and energize - and not just the students! I walk away a better writer every time I get to meet readers."

It takes a year to produce the Festival, and a few hours to pack it all up on Sunday night. This year, as every year, we are profoundly grateful to the organizations, donors, volunteers and writers who made it all happen once again. We hope you made it your Festival, and we’ll do it again next year!
