What are the criteria for being classified as a Mississippi writer?
To be considered a Mississippi writer in our web site, a writer (1) must have been born or have lived a considerable amount of time in the state of Mississippi, and (2) must have published or contributed to at least three book-length works cataloged by the Library of Congress. Writers whose works are published primarily by electronic means (such as e-books or web sites), vanity presses, or print-on-demand publishers are, for the most part, ineligible for inclusion in our web site under these criteria.
