About FLAC
Founded in 2004 by Anhinga Press, Fiction Collective 2, and the University of Tampa Press, the Florida Literary Arts Coalition (FLAC) is a nonprofit network of writers, teachers, editors, publishers, and sympathetic institutions collaborating to advance new writing and independent publishing throughout the state and region. FLAC is also a founding co-sponsor of the Florida Book Awards.
Behind the scenes, our officers and board members run FLAC and brainstorm ideas of how we can make a stronger community. And of course none of this would be possible without our members and sponsors. Thank you for making this possible.
