Okra Picks: Great Southern Books Fresh Off the Vine

Welcome to Authors 'Round the South, (ARTS) and the Southern Traveling Authors Registration Service (STARS) -- the site to find your favorite writers at your favorite bookstores. The ARTS calendar is the most complete collection of book signings, author appearances, book festivals and literary events associated with independent bookstores. The STARS Directory is an extensive "speakers bureau" of writers available to speak to your book club or class. ARTS & STARS are sponsored by the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance, an organization of over 300 independent booksellers across the South.

The Okra Picks are a dozen fresh titles chosen each season that Southern Indie Bookstores are especially excited about. The books are southern in nature but can cover any genre, not just fiction. Southerners love their writers, and Southern Indie Booksellers have a knack for finding the best of the crop.

A new harvest of Okra Picks will be announced each publishing season, so check back often to see what's fresh off the vine this month!
