Fairhope Anthology

This is a collection of short stories in or about Fairhope, Alabama. If you have visited this storybook village, wandered our streets and encountered a friendly face or two you know the unique quality of the community and life that is preserved in this area. This publication is a representation of the work done by the members of the Fairhope Writers’ Group. They are a dedicated group of writers who are as diverse as our little community itself and who meet informally to discuss their latest writing efforts and trends of the publishing world. In 2007 they came together as part of a writers’ workshop, funded by the Alabama Council for the Arts under the guidance of respected authors Suzanna Hudson and Joe Formichella. Through the gracious help from the Fairhope Center for the Writing Arts, the group found a home at the Wolff Writer’s Cottage. When the workshop concluded, the core of the class decided they would continue to meet and to advance the studies in writing techniques and to seek after the creative treasures that lay hidden in this little town of Fairhope. Their efforts are reflected here.
