Netwest Mountain Writers and Poets
Mountain Writers of North Carolina, North Georgia, East Tennessee and Western South Carolina continue to publish, teach, promote, read and network together as members of NCWN West, a chapter of the North Carolina Writers' Network. This site is for our members to publish their work, and speak their mind on writing issues. We post work by our favorite poets, writers, playwrights, teachers and readers, as well as our own work.

Anyone who enjoys Appalachian Literature will be delighted by this excellent anthology, particularly because it introduces the reader to a number of our region’s gifted though lesser-known writers. Bravo!” --Ron Rash
