Meet Susan Snowden, author and editor who will be a
presenter at the Netwest Writers Conference on May 10 in Sylva, NC.
An Atlanta
native, Susan Snowden moved to the mountains of western NC in 1995 to have more
time to write. Since then her work—fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry—has
been published in more than forty literary journals and anthologies. She has received
seventeen honors and awards for her writing, including a gold medal in 2013 for
her first novel, Southern Fried Lies
(IPPY Award; Best Fiction, Southeast Region). Susan has taught writing at
Georgia State University in Atlanta, and at Blue Ridge Community in Flat Rock,
NC. She’s also worked as a freelance book editor since 1985, editing fiction
and nonfiction for publishers and authors. (www.SnowdenEditorial.com).
The conference
will be a one day event at the beautiful public library of Jackson County. This
building was once the majestic courthouse sitting on a hill that can be seen
for miles around the picturesque little town of Sylva. It has been renovated and made into an exceptional library and event center.
Registration information for the conference will soon be available at www.netwestwriters-west.org
