It's that time of year again, the moment of decision where Faulker lovers and those who love literature in general mark their calendars and open their wallets to attend the New Orleans literary festival sponsored by the the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society, Inc.  Festival dates are November 17 - 21, 2010.
 

New and established writers join dedicated readers in a unique multi-arts festival ... created in 1990 on William Faulkner’s birthday by men and women dedicated to good books and their authors, including Nobel Laureate William Faulkner, who wrote his first novel, Soldiers’ Pay, in New Orleans.

Tickets for Words & Music, 2010 went on sale June 1. You can register on-line ... If you prefer, you can register directly with us by snail mail or e-mail ... Because of the heavy fees charged by credit card companies, checks are appreciated. A working schedule of sessions is posted and will be updated shortly. Our pricing schedule is somewhat complicated because of the different audiences we are serving. You may want to review the schedule for 2010 before registering.
