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 and 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 and
Past President
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 either reside on Long Island or
grew up here, 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,
John Cardone
Founder & President Emeritus
Long Island Authors Group
