BiographyMary Edwards Bryan (May 17, 1838? - June 5, 1913) was an American journalist and author from the Southern United States.

Bryan was born in Lloyd, Florida around 1838 to Major John D. Edwards, a plantation owner, and Louisa Crutchfield (Houghton) Edwards.[3] On January 10, 1854, age 15,[4] she eloped and was married to Iredell E. Bryan.[3] Prior to 1858, she had already had poems and a story published by a small newspaper, and by 1859 became literary editor of the Georgia Literary and Temperance Crusader, where she stayed for about a year.[3][5][6]

After moving to Clarkston, Georgia in 1874 she joined on with the Sunny South as an associate editor and began to publish a number of novels. Manch (1880) and Wild Work (1881) were popular releases.[3]

In 1885, she accepted an editorial position with George Munro in New York City, as associate editor for Fireside Companion and Fashion Bazaar.[3] In 1891, it was reported that she was the "best paid woman editor in New York, her salary being $10,000 a year."[7]

She returned to Georgia around 1895, returned to the Sunny South, and continued to edit and write until her death in 1913.[3][5] She wrote at least 20 novels in all.[8]

Bryan was buried in Indian Creek cemetery in Clarkston next to her husband.[3]
