Village Writers Group

The Village Writers Group was organized in 1978 and incorporated in 1980. The group began as an informal extension of a community education course at Emory University entitled "Unblocking Writer's Block," and met initially in various locations in the Emory Village, a commercial area of shops and restaurants adjacent to the Emory campus. Local writers, both published and unpublished, have met regularly for programs, critique, and support. Participants in the Village Writers Group have included initial class leader Neil Shulman, Pat Conroy, William Diehl, Anne Rivers Siddons, Frances Patton Statham, Stuart Woods, and Erskine Caldwell.
