South Carolina has a rich literary heritage full of celebrated authors and significant contributors to the literary field. The South Carolina State Library’s Center for the Book needs your help identifying these key SC Literary Landmarks by nominating your suggestions. Location suggestions will be accepted year-round, and nominees will go to the SC State Library Board for voting. The State Library will designate the new landmarks with a plaque, add them to our interactive South Carolina literary landmark map, and include them in future traveling exhibits.
