Palmetto Brewing Company will contribute by donating $1 from every pint sold during the event to the Charleston FRIENDS of the Library. It’s a win-win situation—you sip your favorite craft beer while supporting literacy programs in Charleston!

A Voice for Self-Published Authors
Speaking of local vibes, the event will also feature authors from the Finnegan Publishing Group, a hub for self-published creatives. Their founder, Allison Paige, expresses their mission by stating, “As a self-published author, I wanted a place that let authors retain control over their work. We are here to relieve the pressure involved in creating a book so authors can do what they do best: write!”
Finnegan Publishing Group is committed to equality, both in the authors they work with and the diverse stories they produce. Their presence at the Mystical Market allows attendees to meet local authors and discover unique stories that often don’t get the spotlight they deserve.
Join in the Fun!
So mark your calendars for November 2nd and get ready to partake in a delightful afternoon filled with literature, local vendors, and community spirit. Remember, whether you’re a book aficionado or just someone who enjoys good company and cold beer, the Mystical Market has something for everyone!
Let’s come together to support local authors, enjoy some great brews, and support literacy in our charming city of Charleston. We can’t wait to see you there!
