NJCWG Meeting - April 11, 2026

 This Saturday! April 11 @ 10a - 12p

This month, we will talk about what makes a compelling author bio. We'll share some tips and work on them during the first half of our session. This is helpful whether you are looking to publish a book, submit an article, or just gain clarity for your identity as an author. Think about what you might like to include in it. It is recommended to create a long version for your website and a short version for book jackets and guest posts. If you already have a bio, bring it. You might want to edit it or be affirmed that it's great as is.  

See you there!

This month, we will be talking about the importance of book covers. 

Can you really judge a book by its cover? Should you? 

How can you create a cover that sells?
