Wild Dunes Author Event & Weekend

Best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe hosts this popular literary event, inviting fellow authors Kwame Alexander, Kristin Harmel, and Patti Callahan Henry to discuss their creative processes and the inspiration for their books. Sunday’s headlining event features an in-depth conversation with the authors, an array of appetizers and desserts, a silent auction, and a pop-up shop from Buxton Books. Monroe’s anticipated first historical novel, Where the Rivers Merge, will be published in May. A portion of proceeds from the event will go toward Reading Partners SC, which provides tutoring for elementary students. Wild Dunes Resort, 5757 Palm Blvd., Isle of Palms. Saturday-Sunday, times vary. $155-$15. (866) 359-5593, www.buxtonbooks.com
