Alabama Authors |
We don't know if it's our water, our incredibly dedicated creative writing instructors or our inherent storytelling ability, but this state produces a disproportionate share of America's great authors. Below is a list of living Alabama writers with books in-print by major publishers, who are now residents, were born here, or honed their skills in The Heart of Dixie. Check back tomorrow, a great new voice might very well be added, and like the majority on the list - The Alabama Booksmith will probably have signed copies of their works.

Rick Bragg in the Movies
Even though you weren’t able to attend the September 26, 2011, sold-out world premiere of Alabama’s Rick Bragg: Out of the Dirt, here’s your opportunity to view the entire movie at home, as well as much bonus footage not seen in the original documentary.
Listen in on distinguished Alabamaians, local friends and family tell inside tales on Rick as a child and award-winning best-selling author. Rick also gives his life’s philosophy in many scenes. Find out about his mother’s poetry; hear his aunt tell of dressing him as a girl when he was a tot. If ever there was a priceless gift, this is it.
You may order the two DVD (22.95) set through our secure, encrypted link Here
