The Mississippi Writers Page
is a showcase for the many writers, both past and present, who have
called the Magnolia state home. Biographies of the writers, information
about their books and other publications, and bibliographies of
other information sources (including literary criticism) are among
the features available here. It is an ongoing project.
If you have suggestions on additional features and/or
Internet sites of interest, or if you would like to contribute an article on
a Mississippi writer, please let us know using one of the methods listed below.
Our submission guidelines are now online. To submit
an article on a writer currently listed in our database, or to inquire about
adding a writer not yet listed, please review these guidelines before sending
us your submission. (Note: if you are interested in contributing an article
on a Mississippi writer, please write to inquire about the "availability" of
that writer. In some instances, someone else may already be contributing an
