Nonfiction Genre Groups are hosted with Zoom breakout rooms, allowing authors to gather for collaboration, connection, support, and brainstorming.
How Nonfiction Genre Groups Work
Step 1: Members of the Nonfiction Authors Association can attend this monthly Zoom event and opt to appear on camera. (Not required, though encouraged.)
Step 2: Following a brief introduction, attendees are moved into small groups in breakout rooms, assigned by genre. The following genres are included.
- Memoir and Narrative Nonfiction
- Self-Development
- Business and Money
- Spiritual
- Science, History, Academic
- Health and Wellness
(We will expand to additional genres based on attendance and demand.)
Step 3: The breakout sessions begin with author introductions of up to two minutes each. Then each participant has up to 10 minutes to discuss a challenge or question. For example, you can ask for marketing ideas, discuss book title options, or invite participants to become beta readers.
Step 4: Participants are encouraged to connect with each other and collaborate by reading and reviewing each other’s books, co-promoting book launch announcements, interviewing each other for blogs and podcasts, and more.
Our hope is that these meetings will create relationships that evolve for years to come!
