Salvation South

Salvation South is a weekly online magazine for every writer and reader who wants to celebrate the culture of the American South and to see beyond its historical baggage and current divisions. Salvation South covers the American South and its people. Folks of rural and urban backgrounds, of different colors, ethnicity, and upbringings. Folks who grew up in the heart of our cities, in high mountains of Appalachia, in the salt air of our coasts, or on the expansive rolling hills and plains of everything in between. We believe every Southerner sees their home region differently. Salvation South wants to give every Southerner who has a knack for telling a good story a place to tell theirs. Our contributors range from bestselling authors to poets laureate to award-winning journalists and Oscar-nominated filmmakers. We want to give Southern readers a place that provides a weekly respite from the constant conflict of the modern world. Salvation South also extends into the world of the spoken word. Through our partnership with Georgia Public Broadcasting, we produce the Salvation South Podcast, a weekly series of short commentaries about people and things Southern. In late 2023, that podcast expanded with the addition of Salvation South Deluxe—special half-hour shows that tell deeper stories about Southerners who are reaching across the barriers of culture and color that once divided us.
