Events
While Pat Conroy has had to limit the number of speaking engagements he can accept while working on upcoming book projects, with the publication of his new novel, South of Broad, Pat Conroy will be participating in a number of book signings and appearances throughout the fall and winter. We hope you will be able to stop by at the places listed below and see him.
In order to meet as many fans as possible at his events, Mr. Conroy will sign two books per customer – either two copies of SOUTH OF BROAD or one SOUTH OF BROAD and one backlist title – and copies must be purchased at the event store. Mr. Conroy will not personalize.
Other appearances will be posted once details are finalized.
