“The first annual “Writers Meet Readers” O.Henry Book Fair will be held here at the O.Henry Hotel on Sunday, January 26, from 4-6 PM. It will feature 20 local writers all with recently published books. Presented by the UNCG MFA Writing Program, the event will be hosted by O.Henry Magazine’s editor and New York Times best-selling author Jim Dodson. Each writer will be selling, signing and talking about their latest works.”

There may not be any Austenesque authors on the docket, but one never knows what wonderful finds await at a book fair. And the O. Henry has quite a lovely tea room.
