There probably isn’t a better Roanoke Valley location for authors to read than on the campus of Hollins University. Whether it’s before the guided mirror of the Green Drawing Room, among the publications of Hollins authors in the Hollins Room of the Wyndham Robertson Library, or in one of the auditoriums, the audience at Hollins gives a close and careful focus to the words being read. And the school hosts writers worthy of that respect.
