Collectively, the Atlanta Writers Club Board knows that we’ve all felt many different emotions during this time of pandemic—fear, boredom, helplessness, hopelessness, uncertainty, and they trust that VIRAL LITERATURE will give readers a chance to laugh and ponder and cry and reflect. Instead of division and hurt, they want to promote creativity and healing. They hope in some small way our part of the commonwealth of writers can help rebuild our corner of the world disrupted by the virus. The proceeds will go to charity, but our highest purpose is giving an opportunity for the constructive power of art to do its work in our distressed lives and society.
