Grand Order of Weird Writers
- Grand Order of Weird Writers
Grand Order of Weird Writers is a writers' organization founded by authors Charlie Carlson and Linda S. Godfrey based on the Weird US series of books started by authors Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman. The term "weird writer" applies to a special group of authors who have established a strange legacy in American literary history. The Grand Order of Weird Writers was also developed to introduce a new genre as well. There are less than 25 American writers holding membership in the Grand Order of Weird Writers. [http://www.weirdwriters.com] Although they have published other books, each of these authors has written a hardback book in a series of books, known as the Weird US series, documenting folklore, oddities, unexplained phenomena and lost legends of the United States. The organization is also known as Weird Writers of America.
Membership in this guild includes such authors as:
Joanne Austin, Richard D. Hendricks, Mark Sloan,
