Oh sure, seeing out-of-state scribes can be a hoot and a half – but what about prosaists in our own backyard? Mondo indie lit hub BookPeople invites Texan authorial talents Anita Varma, Chloe Walton, Olga Fink, Melvin E. Edwards, Charles Francis Guittard, and Nancy David Labastida for a free celebration of homegrown wordsmithery. Their offerings range from deep dives on Southern history to familial memoir to explorations of ethical journalism to sci-fi fantasy forays. In short: a little something for every reader, made in-house. – James Scott
