The
mission of the Long Island Authors Group is to
encourage, support, and promote authorship, primarily in
the Long Island, New York area.
We are
a group of local book authors who have joined together
to conduct activities and events that add to the
availability of our published works while promoting the
Long Island writing community. Our group works with
retail bookstores arranging book talks, signings and
conducts events at various locations that are open to
the public.
Our
group fosters knowledge and experience by conducting
educational seminars on assorted topics such as writing
workshops, marketing techniques, promotion strategies,
and the use of emerging Internet outlets & new
technologies.
A message from our Founder
I'd
like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our
website. We appreciate your taking the time to visit. As
the founder of the Long Island Authors Group, I can tell
you that, what has happened to our organization since
the fall of 2007, is amazing.
I
assume, since you are visiting this website, you might
fall into one of three categories. Either you are just
curious, a book-lover, or you are, yourself, an author.
If you are curious, look around the website and I'm sure
you will find something of interest. If you are a
book-lover, may I direct your attention to the authors'
pages to uncover a true treasure trove of books authored
by local Long Island writers. Book-lovers will also want
to check out the events section to learn the details and
dates of our upcoming activities. These events offer a
variety of opportunities to meet local writers, have a
chance to discuss their work, and even get a book
signed.
If you are an author, and you reside on Long Island
consider joining the group. In addition to our events,
the group is planning workshops and seminars to help
authors hone their writing skills and better market
their works. In all cases, you should take a look at our
"Mission Statement" to better understand what our group
is about.
We like feedback and look forward to hearing from
visitors—book-lovers, authors, and those who are just
curious. Write to us and let us know what you think.
Warm Regards,
