I think this is an ideal oportunity to get some exposure for our local writers. Will you please get this information to all the writers that you know. Give them my Email and I will co-ordinate the booth entries with Carol. Like I said it's free and Powers wants us to participate. John Hickman"        Every Coweta author who is interested in being at this book signing booth should email Hickman at "John William Hickman" skysflys@numail.org. Carol Chancey, who runs  the Powers Festival, and John William Hickman are to be congratulated for providing this great opporunity for Coweta's writers.  This is the latest sign that Coweta authors are beginning to receive the recognition they deserve.        Information on the Powers Festival is available at their website www.newnan.com/cowetafestivals.  Tradirtionally the Powers Festival has provided a great opporunity for visual arts and performing arts.  They are to be commended for expanding their scope this year to include the literary arts.
