We are a consortium of published authors representing various genres, backgrounds and experiences. We first met in April 2007 to donate our books to U.S. troops in war zones. Since then, we have appeared together in various venues including libraries, bookstores, fairs and festivals. Because writing is the most enjoyable part of the process but promoting our books is the most difficult, we formed Authors Without Borders.
Authors Without Borderswas formed in 2008 by a diverse group of authors dedicated to their craft.
Authors Without Bordersare available as a group, in any combination of members, or individuals to libraries, social groups, bookstores, conferences, or special events for:
-Booksignings -Readings/Speaking Engagements -Panel Discussions - Novel Writing (All) - The Writing Life (All)
-Workshops/Lectures - Poetry Slams (Pleasants) - Bring Your Manuscript to Publication (Sequeira) - Writing in Retirement (Walsh)
