The Savannah Authors Workshop proudly presents the 2015 Savannah Anthology, which includes competition winning works by recognized authors and brilliant new talent from Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. Each submission was read by a panel of distinguished judges who selected prize winners in these categories-first place, second place, honorable mention, and other notable entries. We are confident that the fiction and non-fiction presented here will provide the reader with a rare opportunity to enjoy and savor literary excellence in this remarkable collection from very talented Southern writers. Savannah Authors Workshop was founded in 2011 by Christopher Scott and Alice Vantrease. The writing group encourages first-class prose writing, fiction or nonfiction, using discussion, constructive criticism, instruction, and examples. Part of the mission of the group is to give talented writers an opportunity for publication through the annual Savannah Anthology. All judging for the Savannah Anthology is done with a blind process. The judges do not have access to any names of authors who enter the contest. The names of the judges are also kept confidential until the contest is completed.
