Roswell Reads Rewind: Play Literary Catch-Up with Weekend Replays of Videos from Eight Award-Winning Authors

By Marilyn Baron

If you’ve never experienced Roswell Reads Rewind, get ready for a three-day virtual treat from Oct. 3-5.

Every year, Roswell Reads holds a Rewind weekend during which we make our videos of conversations and writing workshops with award-winning authors since 2019 available to the public at no charge.

If you’ve missed any of the previous events, now is a great time to play literary catch-up since recordings of our latest authors ­– Fredrik Backman and Ron Rash – are new to Rewind. In May, Backman spoke to a record-breaking, sold-out crowd of 800 delighted fans about his latest book, My Friends. Rash visited Roswell in October 2024 and, in addition to discussing his latest work, The Caretaker, he also led a Writer to Writer event.

Videos of Backman and Rash’s main presentations, along with Rash’s Writer to Writer discussion, will be among 13 author recordings available online from 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3, through 9 p.m. (EST) Sunday, Oct. 5.

Registrants can view any or all of the authors’ virtual events, which also include presentations by William Kent Krueger, Geraldine Brooks, Laura Morelli, Ann Patchett, Delia Owens and Rick Bragg.

Additionally, since this year marks the 20th anniversary of Roswell Reads, we’re including a special 20th anniversary video about the history of the program.

So, whether you want to rewatch some favorite authors or catch up on any you missed, plan now to enjoy a weekend of wonderful conversations and books. Make your own schedule and invite as many friends or book club members as you like.

Simply register here.

Roswell Reads Rewind is free thanks to the sponsorship of Friends of the Roswell Library, and support of Friends of the East Roswell Library, the Fulton County Library System and Roswell Rotary.
