About Book

How do you become a writer? What does it mean to be a Southern Writer? What advice do established writers have for new writers? These are just a few of the questions that William J. Walsh, a writer and teacher of writing and literature in the Atlanta area, wanted answered when he set out to interview writers from the South. Thirty-one of the South's most prominent and popular poets, short story writers and novelists speak not only of their lives and their work, collectively they offer a glimpse into the soul of the South.
