Greenville is nationally known for producing more writers than anywhere else in America per capita. Some of those prolific writers from the area are Shelby Foote (writer and narrator of PBS's widely acclaimed Civil War series), Walker Percy, Ellen Douglas, Bern Keating, Beverly Lowry, Willie Morris, Ben Wasson, David Cohn, Hodding Carter and many others. Why even William Faulkner was a frequent visitor and an occasional resident of Greenville!
