Southern Literary Trail

The Southern Literary Trail is a cooperative project involving writers' homes and other literary landmarks in three states: Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. Representatives from historic literary sites in eighteen Southern towns are planning events for a Tri-State Festival in March 2009.

The Southern Literary Trail Web site provides a calendar of the events planned for the Festival, information about the writers and their towns, and contact information for the member organizations. There is also a gallery of images of the writers created by artist Maralyn Wilson.
