Austin Authors Circle

​After moving to Austin in 2025, I’ve been thinking it would be great to get more Austin authors together in the same room!

​The gathering would not be for a workshop and without any sales pitch. Just a good group of people who have written books, are promoting books and are figuring out what actually works.

​So that’s what Austin Authors Circle is.
We’ll get together for an hour, have some coffee (or tea) and talk about things like:

• ​What are you doing to get your book out there?

• ​How can we help each other with authentic reviews?

• ​Are you getting on podcasts or using your book to get speaking opportunities?

• ​What have you tried that didn’t work?

• ​How do you talk about your book without sounding like you’re constantly trying to sell it?

• ​What can we learn from each other?

​I’d also love to invite some people a chance to practice pitching their book.

​Not some big formal pitch directed to the other authors, but more a chance to practice our book elevator pitches. Just, “This is my book, here’s who it’s for and why I wrote it.”
Then we can help each other make it better.

​I’m an author myself and my first book has now received more than 1,200 reviews. It’s also opened up a lot of speaking opportunities for me. I’ve learned quite a bit along the way, and as I explore more book releases I’d like to hear what other authors are doing too.
That’s it!

​Meet some other Austin authors! Share what’s working and learn from each other. And help somebody else with what you’ve figured out.

​You are very welcome to bring your book if you want, but this is not a time to bring copies to sell. Let's keep this relational and helping each other. I love the mantra "Givers Gain!"

​I’m hosting it at the Uplevel Training Center in Westlake and we’ll keep it to an hour.

​If you’re an author in the Austin area, come join us.
