Literary Mastermind Group

The self-help guru Napoleon Hill remains an inspiration for many entrepreneurs and innovators, 75 years after the publication of his book Think and Grow Rich. One of the keys to success, Hill said, is to convene a group of like-minded and ambitious people to help each other out. The Mastermind Group, as Hill called it, gathers people with overlapping challenges. Authors struggle with many of the same issues. So do PR people. So do marketers. And so on. The purpose of this group -- which I propose to meet monthly, probably for breakfast, for two or three hours -- is to work with a mix of different people involved in literary matters. I can imagine the Literary Mastermind Group engaging working authors ... print journalists ... marketers ... publishing people ... agents ... bloggers ... broadcasters ... video people ... academics ... and more. If you're interested, please tell me what you do and how you can contribute to the group.
