A Happy New Collaboration

Written By Ellis Anderson

For the past 39 years, the folks at the Tennessee Williams and New Orleans Fest have been producing one of the best literary festivals in the region around the time of the writer’s birthday, March 26.

  • We always celebrate with them because part of our French Quarter Journal mission is to honor our neighborhood’s stellar literary heritage by publishing pieces about local writers, by local writers, and, of course, amazing book reviews.

  • This year, we’re fulfilling a long-time dream and collaborating with the Tennessee Williams Fest! FQJ has created this dedicated section of our journal where we’ll be publishing the winners of their annual writing contests from now on!

  • Here, you’ll find the work of the winners of the 2025 Fiction, Very Short Fiction and Poetry writing contests.

  • We look forward to building a library of winners in the coming years, with help from our dear friends at the Tennessee Williams Fest!
