What we’re about
Welcome to the Las Vegas chapter of The Nonfiction Authors Association, a national community with over 10,000 experienced and aspiring writers of business, self-development, health, reference, memoir and other nonfiction books.
Our NFAA local chapters focus on the business side of writing, publishing and promoting nonfiction books. Meeting agendas typically include a guest speaker focused on a topic related to the publishing industry, introductions by all attendees, and a signature mastermind session where three to five attendees are selected to share a publishing-related challenge or question and receive feedback from the group.
No matter where you are on your publishing journey, whether you’re just getting started or you’ve already authored dozens of books, whether you’re self-published or traditionally published, our mission is to help make your journey easier.
NFAA local chapter attendees are not required to be members of the Nonfiction Authors Association, however, we do invite you to join us online with a Basic membership (free) or Authority membership ($19/month).
Authority members receive many added benefits including:
*Free Attendance at all local, in-person NFAA chapter meetings.

*Exclusive checklists, templates and worksheets archived weekly.
*Participation in our active members-only forum on LinkedIn.
*Monthly members-only publishing Q&A calls.
*Weekly marketing tips sent via email.

See all- Write by Red Rock!Needs location
### New In-person Write by Red Rock classes starting on May 7 at The Blue Diamond Library!
I have been approved to partner with the Las Vegas-Clark CountyLibrary District to offer a series of in-person free writing workshops at the Blue Diamond Library! These are open to the public, free, and will happen on the first Wednesday of the month (excluding August) from 12:30 pm to 2 pm through October 1, 2025.
This isn't your typical writing class. Rather than facing a blank page trying to share something we already know, we'll dive into the unknown. We'll release the inner critic, along with worries about punctuation, grammar, and eloquence. When we allow our words to flow freely - without trying to perfect them - we begin to trust our natural voice, effortlessly. Whether you're a seasoned writer or a total newbie, this space is for you. Curious? Come try it out! Your invited to one or all!
Counts as a Summer Challenge Activity.

- May 7, 2025, 12:30 pm to 2 pm
