About Southern Authors and Book Lovers

Southern Authors and Book Lovers is a website and social media platform dedicated to helping Southern authors connect with Southern book lovers, Southern bookstores, and lovers of Southern fiction.  


Southern fiction is a genre of literature that focuses on fiction set in the Southern United States. Southern Fiction or Southern literature is more than just location, these stories often center around themes of race, class, and gender, and the genre includes authors such as Harper Lee and Zora Neale Hurston.


The Southern Authors and Book Lovers site go beyond the Southern fiction genre and features fiction of all kinds by Southern authors, not just fiction set in the South. 


Southern Authors and Book Lovers is an extension of the Florida Authors and Book Lovers website, both of which came from my work with the Instagram page Local St. Augustine Authors and the St. Augustine Writers and Publishing Professionals Facebook group created to support our local authors and to get them more exposure. 

Even after expanding the Instagram page, I was getting requests from other Southern authors, and that's why I decided to create a separate Southern Authors and Book Lovers website and social media. 


This website is dedicated to promoting Southern authors and connecting them with southern book lovers, Southern book stores, and readers across the world.
