LEAGUE OF LEGENDARY WRITERS

KERRY SCHAFER

“There are so many distractions getting in the way of our words right now. But I believe diving into writing is one of the most important things we can do for our health and sanity. I’ve waived the membership fees for my private League of Legendary Writers group, effective from now until this social distancing thing is over. Come and join us for regular online Write-Ins and an online writer social hour, plus support and encouragement. I work hard to keep this space safe, supportive, and nurturing. Join us, and pass it on to anybody else you think would benefit”.

CAREER AUTHORS

“Since we do have a choice of how to use our time, let’s talk about some writerly things we can do for ourselves, and for each other. And Career Authors has an offer for you at the end.” Hank Phillipi Ryan MORE HERE

Great Thoughts’ Great Readers

“Our Festival will run through end of June.

Authors- No book fairs or tour due to Corona virus? No problem. Message me and you can do a virtual book event right here with excessive book promotion encouraged!” Andrea Peskind Kaz

QUARENTINE BOOK CLUB

Welcome to the Quarantine Book Club! We don’t meet in person, so you’ll have to drink wine and eat all you want in the comfort of your own home, but you’ll be joining a community of readers doing their part to support authors having debuts during the Coronavirus pandemic.

All we ask is that you buy the book or check it out from your library in e or audio format.

We vote on which book to read next and the author will do a Q&A event.

Our first official selection is The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai.
