Writing Mobile Bay:
THe Hurricane Project

The culmination of an eight-week creative writing experience dubbed “Writing Mobile Bay: The Hurricane Project” has resulted in an anthology of stories, poems, and reminiscences that evoke the Alabama Gulf Coast and the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane season.

A project of the Alabama Writers’ Forum with funding from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, the creative writing workshop included anyone on the Alabama Gulf Coast who had suffered damage – physical, emotional, or psychological – through the 2005 hurricane season.

Local writers were recruited and trained to work with this unique community population. According to project consultant Grady Hillman, workshops like this can serve a vital role in helping people regroup following a natural disaster.

Copies of “Writing Mobile Bay” may be purchased for $10 plus $3.50 for shipping and handling. To order, contact:
