Tallahassee Writers Association
Tallahassee Writers Association supports the literary arts by offering professional and novice writers education, connection, and encouragement.
Our monthly meeting is this Thursday, June 13 at 6:30 pm at the Marzuq Shrine Temple with guest speaker Mayor John R. Marks III.
John Marks is the longest-serving mayor in the history of Tallahassee, serving from February 2003 through November 2014. A successful and accomplished attorney and public servant, Mayor Marks is the great-grandson of Oliver Lewis Coleman, who founded Coleman College in Gibsland, Louisiana in 1887. Join us as Mayor Marks discusses his research and process of developing a documentary film and historical novel about this extraordinary educational pioneer.

The 2023 Seven Hills Literary Contest and Penumbra Poetry & Haiku Contest (“the Contest”) is open for entries! We have decided to open the contest to non-members, but members enjoy a $10 discount on each entry. If you aren’t already a member of Tallahassee Writers Association, you can sign up at https://twaonline.org/membership/purchase.
One change from previous years is that the Contest will focus on just a few genres, rotating each year. This year, the categories are Short Stories, Poetry, and Haiku. The entry fees are low (especially during the early-bird phase, now through August 31), and the prizes are attractive!
