PIEDMONT LITERARY SOCIETY (1976-2009)
The Piedmont Literary Society is an “organization of people interested in the
creation and appreciation of literature as an art form.” The aim of the Society is to
encourage students, writers, and the public at large to write and appreciate all forms of
literature. The Society began in 1976 when it was determined that a creative writing
publication was needed in Piedmont Virginia. Items were created by writers and were
published in the Piedmont Literary Review at no charge. Periodic meetings are held both
in the Piedmont area of Virginia and Virginia Beach and other areas of the State.
Membership is open to all, with Virginia members of the Society having voting
privileges. The Lynchburg Chapter of the Society was the only active group of the
Society as of 2004.
