In 1995 Georgia Jones founded LadybugPress, a book publishing company that focuses on the needs and interests of women, and then in 2005 she created NewVoices, Inc. an arts and entertainment corporation. Georgia Jones is an author, instructor, and advocate for women’s rights.
Jones' published work includes the novel In Line at the Lost and Found and the non-fiction book The Real Dirt on the American Dream: Home Ownership and Democracy under the pseudonym Adrianna Long. She has authored a book on writing, Write What You Know, based on writing workshops she has developed and led since 1995. Write What You Know was described as "a book that can be used and enjoyed by the new writer looking for guidance, or is a book for the seasoned pro in search of a fresh outlook.” Her poetry has been compared to that of Alanis Morrisette, and to Hilda Doolittle and Canto.
There are multiple LadybugPress/NewVoices web sites: an online magazine and three Internet Radio sites. Jones’ interest in audio began in 1992 when two of her plays, A Stitch in Time and The Usual Suspects, were produced for radio through Shoestring Radio Theatre, distributed nationally to NPR affiliates through Radio Works and Audio Services for the Blind. Prior to that production, A Stitch in Time and a musical, The Porters, which she wrote with composer, Lewis MacAllister were produced.
Jones newest novel, Isabelle’s Appetite, will be available in the spring, but she emphasizes that most of her time right now is spent helping new writers. She has always believed in the importance of self expression and her recent workshops have been focused on journaling, something she believes to be vital to a creative maturity.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Georgia Jones
Creativity is something we all have, but society has too often taught us to doubt it in ourselves.
I always remind writers, and I am one who needs reminding as well, that no one is going to knock on your door and invite you to be a creative person. You have to take it to the world if you want to be recognized, and that is part of the process. Of course, that is true of almost everything that matters.
