Normally considered a banker's town, Charlotte, North Carolina, also has a rich literary heritage that continues to thrive. It was in Charlotte that Carson McCullers wrote The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, that W. J. Cash wrote The Mind of the South, that Erskine Caldwell and Charles Kuralt got their starts writing book reviews and columns.

But as this collection proves, writing in Charlotte is more vibrant now than ever—and holds even greater promise for the future.

Reviews

“An inspirational book that goes straight to the heart of what it means to be a writer, transcending the geography in which it was born. This is an impressive anthology, one that reveals the creative spark.”
John Egerton

“Charlotte is not known as a literary haven . . . but it can boast with the lions as a home to many sterling writers. No Hiding Place will surprise people. From such practiced hands as Erskine Caldwell to strong new voices of every sort this anthology gathers a striking collection. Congratulations, Queen City, way to go!”
Fred Chappell

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Especially the short story by Robert Inman, which had me laughing my head off! I've lived my entire life in Charlotte and wasn't aware that we had so many talented folks here. Keep up the good work, Charlotteans!”
