About Us

Would you like to have an author speak with your class about being a writer and/or give a reading?

Thanks to the Literary Event Grants of Georgia (funded by Georgia Council for the Arts and managed by the Georgia Writers Association), an author can virtually visit your class!

Find an author for your event on the Georgia Writers Registry (if an author you would like to invite isn't listed, please check this list).
Eligible writers include poets, playwrights, and writers of fiction, nonfiction, and creative nonfiction.
To formally, invite an author, submit an event proposal.

Venues located in some Georgia counties—Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb—are excluded from LEGG funding since they receive funding from other organizations: check the eligibility requirements to be sure. Please feel free to e-mail us at terri@georgiawriters.org with any questions you may have or if you need assistance filling out an event proposal.

The Linguistic Justice Collaborative is back for summer 2024 with a range of new programs and projects! If you are or know a 12 to 18 year old in the Tucker, Stone Mountain, Clarkston area of metro Atlanta, we have two programs that may be of interest:

Storying Tucker: Hear Our Stories/Eschucha Nuestra Historia/سماع قصصنا/আমাদের গল্প শুনুন
Meeting June 3^rd through 7^th 10 am to 4 pm daily at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library in Tucker, Georgia, this program, designed and led by three local teens, is seeking additional teen co-researchers who are interested in recording and capturing Tucker’s stories, voices, and community histories around immigration, migration, and finding refuge. The end results will be guided by youth co-researchers, but may include creating podcasts, YouTube videos, community education events, open access digital archives, or more!

In the Shadow of Stone Mountain: Historicizing Shermantown
Meeting June 10^th through June 15^th 10 am to 5 pm at Bethsaida Baptist Church in Stone Mountain, Georgia, this program is seeking current middle and high school students interested in learning more about Shermantown, a historically Black community in the heart of Stone Mountain Village, and its historic, present day, and potential future relationship to Stone Mountain Park, the largest monument to the Confederacy in the world. The end results will take place on Saturday, June 15^th determined by the youth: maybe guided community walking tours, public art, a documentary with support from the Southern Poverty Law Center, or open access digital archives.
