Dear Literary Sisters,

Twenty Years of Celebrating the Legacy of Black Literature comes full circle in 2012 as we celebrate 20 years of our Annual Author Awards Weekend in the city of “sisterly” love. Come join all your literary sisters in "Ringing the Bell for Black Literature" in Philadelphia, PA where we will celebrate the authors who put pen to paper and tell our stories. We have an exciting weekend planned for you that includes an intimate setting with a GOG favorite winning author, a mixer where you will “get down” to the sound of Philly Soul and a memorable author awards ceremony.

We look forward to showing you a wonderful time in Philadelphia. Your Host Chapter,

GOG PA2
