Georgia Reads and Writes
Book reviews, news about aspiring authors and published authors, book clubs, writing groups and pretty much anything related to reading and writing. We stick to those with Georgia roots for the main part, but occasionally we'll stray if something catches our eye. We'll try to keep the reviews on the page, even when they're older.
Coweta Writers Group To Meet On September 10At its meeting in August the Coweta Writers Group discussed Book Marketing and Distribution. There was so much interest in the topic and so many matters not covered that it was decided to continue the same topic at its next meeting. This meeting will be held on Saturday September 10 from 10 AM through 12 Noon at the Ashley Park Barnes & Noble in Newnan. The speaker and discussion leader will be the same -- Swanee Ballman who is both a book author and the owner of Jawbone Publishing Company in Newnan. The meeting is open to the public and there is no admission charge. Information on this meeting and on the Coweta Writers Group is available from Forrest Schultz at 770-583-3258 or email.
