Shivers will begin the event at 10:00 a.m., followed by a hands-on session at 11:00 a.m. where participants will have the opportunity to create their own fictional character. He will also read selections from his most recent book, Hysterical Preservation.
Shivers, who decided at the age of 11 that he wanted to become a writer, has published 33 books since 2004. His first work, Hear My Cry, marked the beginning of a prolific writing career. His upcoming book, Jaynesville, is set in Simpson County. Six of his published works are based in Mississippi.
Often described as a “wordweaver,” Shivers is known for his dedication to writing daily.
