Alabama Writer's Conclave
Records and Publications, 1923-1975
ID: AR1396
The Alabama Writer's Conclave was founded in 1923 at Alabama College in Montevallo as a women's club, but it quickly opened the membership to include men and "all people in Alabama interested in writing." By 1930 the Conclave was composed of Alabama historians, playwrights, fiction writers, poets, and newspaper writers. The purpose of the conclave is to promote fellowship, to provide an opportunity for improvement of craft, and to support Alabama writers. The Conclave meets for four days every summer, usually at the University of Montevallo, although the conference has been held at Samford University and, during the years of the Second World War, at the Birmingham Public Library. In 1931 the Alabama State Legislature created the honorary office of Poet Laureate of Alabama. Poet laureates are designated by the Alabama Writer's Conclave. The collection is largely comprised of Conclave programs from 1923 to 1975 with some missing. Also included are a brief history of the AWC and other literary clubs in Alabama, the constitution and by-laws of the AWC, a roster of members, and a bulletin from 1962.
