Are there any well-known writers from south jersey?

I don't know of a single one. (Yet.)

Maybe? Never looked into it before.

I saw this query and do know of a few:
Patricia MacDonald - writes primarily women's suspense
Gay Talese - He's from Ocean City, still visits down here
Scott Neustadter -A screenwriter, co-wrote "500 Days of Summer", from Margate
F. Paul Wilson - Wrote a few dozen books, novels and non-fiction
Terry Brisbin - Romance author

[Donitello]

I know a great (ie., critically-acclaimed) LITTLE-KNOWN author from S. Jersey: Donald Gallinger.

His book, The Master Planets, is fabulous. Mind you, you have to be okay with what some people might consider "immorality" -- the story is about a rock star in 1970s New Jersey, so there's a certain amount of sex, drugs, and 4-letter words.

Just looked this book up, it looks really good. I'm going to order it...I'm always looking for new authors!

Thought of two more - Mike Capuzzo who wrote a book about a real-life "Jaws" event at the Jersey shore and Beth Ciotta who writes romance.

Let me know what you think. I'll be very interested.

Hi. I'm a Christian author currently living in South Jersey. My novel, My Friend Jesus is beginning to get international attention. Set in the fictional town of Kidron, in modern-day America, it will forever change the way you look at sin, salvation, God, and Satan—and this dark, fallen world in which we all are forced to live.

There is an excerpt of it on my website:

Feel free to take a look at it!

Sincerely,
