Southern Writers Guild
MJ Polk, primalbeet, Gray, Canary Vale, Good Boy RecordsWe are the Southern Writers’ Guild: a deliberate assembly of stubborn scribes—poets, novelists, essayists, playwrights, songwriters—who stake our claim on this tangled South, by blood or by choice or by some inexplicable pull that won’t let go.

The Scenic Route
Beau and Gray were cleaning out the shed behind the Guild house. Well, Beau was. Gray had stopped a half hour before and was now leaning on her broom, reading an old issue of Reader’s Digest. Hank and Jean-Paul were off on a road adventure....
The Prize
Grace was swinging back and forth, head leaned back, listening to the waves.
Whenever they were within twenty miles of Keel’s Landing Lake, Grace insisted the trio visit the swings at The Landing Dock. Five minutes by the water was all she...
Mountain Jam Session
This post was originally my submission to Stories from the Jukebox, hosted by —a fellow Southern Writers Guild founder, writing partner, and friend. Bob over at chose the prompt based on Mountain Jam by The Allman Brothers Band. I’m...
Whistlepigs
Grace found Norman Deavors on page forty-seven of the Southern Standard, wedged between an ad for an Asheville estate jeweler and a recipe for persimmon pudding that called for ingredients you couldn’t find south of a Williams-Sonoma.

An Old Mexico Reading Attempt
Well, my attempt to get Cotton and myself on screen at the same time failed miserably. But I think we wound up with a pretty good video after all, thanks to Grace’s superb editing skills.
Here’s what Cotton didn’t tell you.

Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
Newspaper to Substack Editor & Consultant--offering clients Proofreading, Copy-editing, and Developmental-editing services. But I'm not your average copywriter. I have a passion for writing both Fiction and Creative Non-fiction. aka- Hank Cotton
Writer, musician, and feral philosopher. I craft poetry, short fiction, rogue songs, and offbeat truths from the crossroads of weird and wonder. Refined for public use, but still a little wild under the hood.
Gen X writer with a fake name—roamin’ the Dirty South with incense prayers & mixtape ghosts. Sometimes fiction, always true: stories stitched from kudzu, cigar boxes, found faith, & the ridiculocity of having raised ourselves.
Nothing here is meant to fix you. Only to see you. I hold up the mirror. You decide what’s beautiful about the damage. \ud83c\udfc6Featured by American Songwriter
Songwriter and music producer. Good Boy Records is my theatrically written song journal. Grooves & Gravy is for creative writing. I release music on all streaming platforms as Chip Martini. Please don’t ask why. It made absolute sense at the time.
