Buffalo Writers Week

By Lisa Littlewood

Though Buffalo has gained notoriety for many things over the years (chicken wings, roast beef, the performance of our sports teams and the very cold precipitation that blankets the area every winter, to name a few) it seems that it also is the home to a number of resources that are sometimes unheard of. If you are a reader and enjoy books you’ll be glad to know that one of Buffalo’s often hidden gems is a thriving literary landscape comprised of many talented writers, speakers, teachers and city advocates.
We have pulled together a list of several of those authors in an attempt to offer some additions to your
reading list, Buffalo style. This list certainly could contain many more names but we do hope that you’ll find a book of interest, and make a purchase to help support some of our own local talent. Check back daily for new authors.
