MARJORIE HUDSON
MARCH 11, 2026.
"I grew up in the North, but I got here as fast as I could."
Author Marjorie Hudson, a North Carolina resident and author of Indigo Field, Accidental Birds of the Carolinas, and Searching for Virginia Dare, is our guest speaker for High Point Literary League’s Spring Luncheon.
As copy editing chief for Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, Marjorie Hudson encountered the work of some of the South’s best contemporary authors – Jill McCorkle, Kaye Gibbons, and Clyde Edgerton. Inspired, she turned her hand to fiction writing, and her first story won a statewide award. Now her books are reigning in acclaim from the authors who inspired her!

High Point Literary League welcomes Triad residents who share the League’s passion for reading and literary excellence. Members are invited to two luncheons annually that feature nationally renowned authors, and members may bring guests to these events.
History
The High Point Literary League formed in 1981 when 17 local book clubs teamed up to charter an organization that would “sponsor an annual luncheon featuring nationally known authors.”
