Tom Junod
The Northeast Georgia Literary Society is proud to be partnered with The Quinlan Visual Arts Center for our Q1 In-Person Educational Event, featuring Mr. Tom Junod!
Tom Junod is a distinguished American journalist renowned for his in-depth profiles and compelling storytelling. Among Junod's most acclaimed works is "Can You Say...Hero?", a profile of Fred Rogers. While working together, Mr. Junod and Mr. Rogers formed an uncanny friendship that would go on to inspire the 2019 film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
Mr. Junod will be speaking on his relationship with Mr. Rogers and the film it went on to inspire on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at The Quinlan Visual Arts Center, 514 Green Street, N.E., Gainesville, Georgia. We hope to see you there!
