Mary, senior event organizer for the Atlanta Writes Meetup group, hosts the Thursday critique sessions. She loves getting to know local Atlanta writers and hearing their stories (fact or fiction). She’s been published in Deep South Magazine and has had a short play produced at the Atlanta Cuban Club (thanks to the wonderful talent behind Merely Players Presents). She is currently working on achieving her New Year’s Resolution — finish the stinkin’ novel before the end of the year!
DeShawn, senior editor for AtlantaWrites.com, is a novelist, avid traveler, and real fly-by-the-seat-of-her-pants type who enjoys shots of adrenaline and welcomes a little mystery into her life. Passionate about literary arts, her published works include novels, short stories, and a series of children’s books.
Adding poetry to her literary loves, DeShawn’s work has been featured in Blue Mountain Review – The Southern Collective Experience. She currently works as a freelance writer and editor and is doubling down on her knowledge of the written word by pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing.
