This group is for Australian and New Zealand authors to discuss craft, professional, marketing and business topics. It is not a social list. Authors from all genres, fiction and non-fiction are welcome. To be eligible to join, you must be published in long form (ie books of over 40,000 words approx.) by a royalty paying, independent publisher. We do not, at this time, accept self-publication as a viable credential. Authors of shorter children's books are welcome to negotiate joining terms.
