A group of writers based in Hixson have published a collection of short stories. The profit from sales will be donated to the Young Southern Student Writers competition.
There are 12 works by nine different writers. The writers in the collection are all very different in style, genre, age, experience, political outlook, and their stance on the Oxford comma. But together they have published a collection of short stories called Crazy Buffet that is now available on Amazon.
The group decided that the profits from the collection would go to support a regional arts or writing program.
The profits from sales of the first edition will go to the Young Southern Student Writers sponsored by the Southern Lit Alliance and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Department of English to help offset the cost of the awards ceremony they hold each year.
The book cover was created by Meredith Hodges-Boos, who is a writer in the group and the author and illustrator of children books. More information about the writers, the book, and how to purchase it can be found on the website for the group,

The organizer of the crazy buffet club said, "If you find an author whose style you like, who stirs your emotion with a phrase, who plants a story in your mind that you remember long after you've put the book aside, we'll call that a success.”
