Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 6, 2005

Pearlsong Press will have a presence at the October 7-9, 2005 Southern Festival of Books: A Celebration of the Written Word.

The popular book festival offers free talks, readings, and signings by more than 200 authors of adult and children's books. Dozens of national and regional publishers, bookstores, and nonprofit writing-related organizations staff booths at the War Memorial Plaza site, on the corner of Sixth and Union Streets in downtown Nashville.

Talks, readings, and discussions are held in rooms under the Plaza, as well as in the State Capitol and the Nashville Public Library. Festival performance stages in the Plaza feature singers, songwriters, poets, musicians, storytellers, actors and playwrights, and children's performers. All events are free and no reservations are required.

Nashville-based Pearlsong Press was founded by psychologist and former journalist Peggy Elam, Ph. D. to produce holistic and empowering fiction and nonfiction and promote the "Health at Every Size" approach to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Its books include motivational romance novels featuring plus-sized or "big beautiful" heroines by Pat Ballard, and the memoir and spiritual travelogue Unconventional Means: The Dream Down Under by Anne Richardson Williams.
