Welcome to my new website. Thousands of Georgians regularly read my column twice weekly in their local paper and online, but I've set up this site to offer a more in-depth and faster-responding venue for the quick-paced action that is Georgia politics.

Bill Shipp Online will be a forum for my thoughts and those of some of the finest writers on Georgia politics. My columns will be available soon after they are published in the newspapers around the state, but my notes on politics as well as breaking news flashes will be available exclusively here.

Are you interested in contributing to Bill Shipp Online? Contact our managing editor at billshipponline@gmail.com. We are looking for Republican, Democratic and Independent voices from all across Georgia to help keep our readers informed about the political and business goings-on of the state, whether they happen under the Gold Dome, on the campaign trail or in the corporate boardroom.

For more information on Bill Shipp, please see his entry in the New Georgia Encyclopedia.
