Move over Flannery O’Connor; Here are the New Authors on the Block!


When most people think about Savannah’s great female authors, the name Flannery O’Connor usually comes to mind. Although O’Connor’s work is respected and still well-read, there are a host of other great female authors in Savannah that you need to know about.

Earlier this month, The Village Empowerment Project, a non-profit organization in Savannah, Georgia, sponsored a networking social called the Sister Girl’s Social for female authors.

Each author gave a brief summary of her book and her journey during the writing process. In addition, each author donated a copy of her book for a drawing, and ironically a few of the authors won another author’s book!

Thanks again to all of the authors who attended the Sister Girl’s Social!
