JASNA-Atlanta at 2012 Decatur Book Festival!

Needless to say the JASNA-Atlanta members and volunteers are excited as are the two dozen authors who will be participating with us.  Sixteen authors will be on hand to autograph their books and to speak at intervals during the day (we have a relatively large space for this - 3 tents!).  Eleven other authors are sending us a supply of their works for sale as well. 

This year is a good one for Atlanta's local authors at DBF.  The keynote speaker is pulitzer prize-winning poet Natasha Trethewey of Emory University.  One of our non-fiction authors is Professor Laura Dabundo of Kennesaw State University.  Local author Barbara Tiller Cole is well-known in the Jane Austen Fan Fiction world and is a key member of our DBF committee. 

Stay tuned to this site for updates as to schedules and social events during DBF.  Also visit us on our Facebook page at   Jane Austen Society of North America - Georgia Regions        

Welcome to the Atlanta Region of JASNA!

Our members meet regularly throughout the year to enjoy lectures, attend events, and discuss the works, life, and times of Jane Austen (1775-1817). We meet on the weekends so that people living farther out from the city will be able to attend more easily. We hope you will join us! info@JasnaAtlanta.org.
