Male Southern Authors

Southern writers are at a bit of an advantage in that we have a powerful sense of place, but mostly we know characters. We ARE characters. We come from families, neighborhoods, churches, and kinfolk that are the stuff you think is made up, but only slightly. We love an embellished story. We are storytellers. To be southern is to be a good storyteller. Join us at the table as we discuss male southern authors.

We already did an episode on female southern authors. You can listen to that here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/steel-magnolias-podcast/id1442852139?i=1000554084762
