Authors Guild Austin-Area Meet-and-Greet
A meet-and-greet and informal open mic with Austin-area Authors Guild chapter members, hosted by local writers, Daphne DiFazio and Scott Semegran.
Please join Authors Guild Austin Chapter Co-Ambassadors Scott Semegran and Daphne DiFazio for a summertime in-person gathering at Alienated Majesty Books. Happy hour snacks and drinks will be provided inside the bookstore during a meet-and-greet and informal open mic. We will have a microphone and signup sheet set up for brief readings toward the middle of the event. If you'd like, bring any work or a recent publication, so we can share and celebrate with the other members.
The Authors Guild is the nation’s largest and oldest professional organization for published writers. The Guild welcomes traditionally-published authors as well as self-published, independent authors through a membership program that offers education, legal advocacy, and professional support, as well as regional chapters that host events in local writing communities.
