Our Mission Statement

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.

Long Island Authors 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.
