Doubleday, the Dial Press and Penguin Random House will celebrate the life and legacy of Pat Conroy next Wednesday by donating $1 (up to $15,000) to the new Pat Conroy Literary Center for every photo, book, quote or memory shared to honor the late author on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, using the hashtag #PatConroyDay.
At 9 a.m. EST on October 26, which would have been his 71st birthday, Doubleday will go live with #PatConroyDay on Conroy's Facebook page as well as the PRH, Random House Publishing Group, and Doubleday/Nan A. Talese Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts simultaneously. Readers and booksellers are encouraged to share their own Pat Conroy Day posts, memories and photos as well throughout the day.
