West Florida Literary Federation (WFLF) was founded 1986 in Pensacola as an all-volunteer organization with a nonprofit (501c-3) status. WFLF is focused on the literary arts, and partners with and assists other community organizations to promote literary efforts through frequent programs, workshops, awards and other related activities. The community organization has an office and library on the second floor of the *[[Pensacola Cultural Center]].
For nearly three decades, WFLF has sponsored literary programs for Northwest Florida. Early on, in 1989, Ron Cannon and Leonard Temme, who was later named poet laureate, conceived of and carried out a 24-hour poetry reading marathon in Seville Square. Poets and poetry lovers from across the region read their favorite work or their own poems through the night and into late afternoon the following day. The event, held over the Fourth of July Weekend, was covered by CNN.
