Abstract:

Why do so many writers come out of North Carolina? Ed Southern, executive director of the North Carolina Writer’s Network, attempts to answer this question in this article. He attributes the success of North Carolina to the Network, the “niceness” of North Carolinians, and the struggle between poverty and potential. He also states that in order to keep the title of “Writingest State”, North Carolina writers must encourage others to write the stories that they would like to write about, while demanding quality and perfection.
