Louisiana Authors
Louisiana owns more than its share of great writers, as well as being the setting for fabulous books, plays and films. New Orleans alone could fill a literary encyclopedia. There are wonderful authors scattered throughout the Bayou State, from Shreveport to Grand Isle, from Monroe to Holly Beach, and they write in all the genres.

The following is a list of links to author Web sites, literary organizations and writers groups. If you are an author or belong to a group not mentioned here, contact me.
