This past weekend, I had the pleasure to attend Dahlonega’s ninth annual Literary Festival, which was held at the North Georgia College & State University and the Chamber of Commerce. Not having attended before, I was not sure what the festival would have to offer, but the event gave visitors a chance to partake in panels and presentations by many resident authors. The festival was a small but informative affair, drawing in avid bibliophiles, aspiring writers and those wanting to learn more about local Georgia authors and their inspirations.
