Welcome to Novel Ideas, a community of authors and aspiring writers. We come together to meet other writers, share ideas, learn about the book journey and support each other.
Whether you're struggling with writing, a seasoned writer, or a first-time author looking for guidance come and join us!
Over the coming year we have invited a presenter to talk about each step in the publishing journey: meet a published author, editing + proofreading, layout and cover design, marketing and promotion and finally, printing your book!
Join us for this fun, easy going bimonthly meetup, learn valuable book publishing information and connect with like-minded individuals to help take your writing to the next level.
