~ Our Mission ~

We seek to develop a comprehensive list of Tennessee writers and to provide accurate, useful, and easily accessible information on each of these writers. To that end, we have compiled a preliminary list and continue the process of painstakingly gathering biographical, bibliographical, and other pertinent information on each of the more than 200 writers on this list. Even though some of the writers may be claimed by other states as well, we have elected to include writers who have lived or written in the state of Tennessee at some point in their lives.

The project is a work in progress, and we anticipate using feedback from our readers as we attempt to develop the premier web site on Tennessee Writers.

Project Initiation:

I first developed the idea the Tennessee Writers web site in 1999, but previous commitments to other projects delayed work on it until 2001. Michael Wilson, an M.A. student, was instrumental in developing the web site as well as conducting much of the research on the authors. Others have contributed in recent years. We particularly seek to correct any errors and update any outdated information. We are always searching to gain new information on the authors, and are continually seeking help to add new writers to our list.
