The O, Georgia! Writing Competition

recognizes new adult writers in a volume entitled "O, Georgia! A

Collection of Georgia's Newest and Most Promising Writers."

"O, Georgia!" was initiated in 1996 to assist emerging Georgia

writers in having their works published in an increasingly competitive

literary marketplace. "We are trying to give these budding authors

exposure to a mass audience for the first time," said publisher Paul

Cossman.

The O, Georgia Too! Writing

Competition showcases the works of elementary, middle and high school

students from all over Georgia in a separate anthology called "O,

Georgia Too! An Awesome Collection of Original Writings by Young Georgians."

"The works in O, Georgia Too! show that students are serious thinkers,

and we adults need to pay attention to what they're thinking. We also

need to look for ways to encourage them to seek self-expression through

the written word, added Cossman.

"Each book and its authors

will be celebrated at huge book-release and autographing galas in October.

All entrants are notified of their status on or before May 30. Guidelines

and entry forms at www.ogeorgia.org or phone at 770-781-9705. The entry

deadline date Feb. 15.
