Throughout the year authors of significant books will launch and discuss their most recent books. Together both Belmont University and Parnassus Books collaborate to host these individuals to campus.
Some recent speakers have been Irish writer Claire Keegan and Today Show Host Savannah Guthrie. Parnassus Books is an independent bookstore for independent people located in Nashville. The bookshop was opened by novelist Ann Patchett in 2011.
