New in 2021 – “Getting to know the Author” Spotlights We’re setting aside a time to meet our members up close and personal. Thursdays in June and July at 2 and/or 7 p.m., we’ll be hosting thirty minute Zoom interviews. Do you have questions you’d like to ask authors? Are you intrigued by how mysteries are constructed or how writers balance family and day job and still have time to write? Want to know more about mystery, writing, editing, finding agents, paths to publication? Look no further. Our members cover the spectrum from traditionally published, self-published to not-yet-published and they are happy to share their hard-earned knowledge. Look here for names and dates. Information for joining will be in our facebook the week before each program. Members may choose a time to sign up by Email to Fedora@FedoraAmis.com
