Closing Out the 2022 Chapter 

The time has come to say "Farewell" to our 2022 Piedmont Laureate, Heather Bell Adams. Through online and in-person events, workshops, writing tips, and blog posts, Heather successfully engaged and won the hearts of literary lovers from all over NC. In her latest blog post, Heather recaps her year and shares some inspirational words for those who followed her journey as the Piedmont Laureate. Raleigh Arts is excited to see what Heather does next in her fictional writing career. Thank you Heather!
