The Savannah Book Festival (SBF) and E. Shaver Booksellers invite the community to an evening with Harrison Scott Key, in conversation with Amy Paige Condon and Lauren Key at Service Brewing Company on Sunday, June 11 at 6:30 PM.

His previous works include “Congratulations, Who Are you Again?”, and “The World’s Largest Man”.

“We are thrilled to partner with local independent bookseller E. Shaver to offer this literary event to our community. This exciting summer event with Harrison, Amy and Lauren celebrates the written word and promotes reading, writing and civil conversation, the SBF mission. SBF is pleased to increase the opportunities to engage with authors outside of our annual four-day Festival, thanks to partnerships with E. Shaver Booksellers,” says Executive Director, Tara Setter.
