Welcome
Writing Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains has been such a journey. The assignment to create tours that take readers and travelers along literal trails that trace out the lives and works of North Carolina 's men and women of letters throughout history is perhaps the most daunting challenge of my career. At the same time, the research has unearthed pure treasure -- dozens of little known stories and anecdotes about the literary legends and the everyday writers of our state. Publication of the first of three volumes in the Literary Trails series has led to the creation of this website, but information about the events surrounding that occasion is not all that is here. I invite you to meet the network of colleagues and friends with whom I have had the pleasure of collaboration over the years as a writer, teacher, consultant, and documentary producer. Here you can also find information about the Duke University Writers Workshop, the Solatido Songwriters Workshop, and my consulting practice with nonprofits. I am now well into the second (Piedmont) volume of this series sponsored by the North Carolina Arts Council and published by the University of North Carolina Press. In the meantime, you can order a personalized, autographed copy of the book from me on the Literary Trails page of this website. Thanks for visiting. Georgann Eubanks |
