Motto: Writers Helping WritersText Box: 2009 Georgia Literary Festival
The 11th annual Georgia Literary Festival will be held in Rome on the weekend of October 16-17, 2009.
This will mark the first time the event, a "moveable feast" of the state’s literary heritage, will be held in the Northwest Georgia city.
The chair of the committee to plan for the festival is the Rome-based writer Raymond L. Atkins, author of the new novel, The Front Porch Prophet, and a well-known contributor to magazines and newspapers. Among the groups represented on the committee are the Sara Hightower Regional Library, the Rome Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Rome Area Writers and the Rome Area Council for the Arts.

Text Box: Rome Area Writers is made up of individuals who like to write and who support the literary arts, especially in Rome, Georgia.
RAW salutes the Masters of the written word, and we honor many of them by placing their image on this website. It is the dream of all Rome writers to someday be listed among these distinguished authors. 
Another objective of RAW is to organize and support a Literary Festival in the city of Rome. Writers in Georgia and surrounding states would be invited to join us in support of the literary arts. Look for more information about this in the near future.
You are invited to visit all parts of this website. It is our wish that you find ideas that will be an inspiration for you to begin or continue your journey in the written word.
