Mission

Our mission is to create and foster a community of Southern writers and writing programs for undergraduates. We nurture undergraduate writers and usher them into professional life as artists. We connect undergraduate and established writers at our annual Festival. We celebrate the evolving tradition of Southern writing.

Values

We value the talent and potential of undergraduate writers, we recognize the necessity of community to the growth of all writers, and we believe in the importance of Southern writing to culture and identity.

Vision

Our vision is to provide educational resources for the writing community, to foster the dynamic nature of Southern writing, and to become an essential experience in the development of young Southern writers.
