The
Downtown Writers Network is especially concerned with promoting the writer's
life in Columbus. So we're listing links to sites for mid-Ohio groups,
publications and writers first.
If you have a local literary web site
you'd like to suggest for this list, please
contact us.
Organizations for Writers
Appalachian Authors' Guild (AAG)
The AAG is a
not-for-profit organization with a mission to provide avenues of
support and networking to Appalachian authors by assisting our
members marketing and selling their products. The AAG is developing
a fully integrated online e-commerce portal that will not only
provide information about Appalachian authors and their works, but
facilitate members to sell books on the AAG website, with a greater
percentage of commission going to the authors than they are
currently receiving. This portal will include an online book club,
on-line chats with the authors, featured author of the month,
downloads on demand, gift registry, author profiles and dust covers
of each book. In addition, friends of the guild and sponsorship
will be open for anyone anywhere in the world.
