Teacher Opportunities and Resources
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.
