Building Your Peer Author Group - podcast

Thanks Donna and Amber for the information you have shared. Can you share where to find a Writer Group?

Thanks, Amber and Donna, for offering your opinions of writers' groups and how they can either encourage or discourage writers. Because I'm already in my 60's and my first novel is an X rated, erotic novel, I'm finding that some people are repelled by the graphic sex scenes in my novel whereas others find them fascinating. I doubt I would have had the courage to write this type of a book years ago, but, now that my work is out there, I'm realizing that I need to find a group of people who are supportive and who are willing to share ideas about marketing my book. It's clearly a type of book which wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea because it contains some pornography. On the other hand, it is a believable story of a young woman who becomes embroiled in a torrid, complicated affair and it's a story which young women might find interesting, should they find themselves in a similar situation. I did join a group of erotica writers on LinkedIn... I'm hoping that this group will be beneficial to me. I hope to also connect with writers from XLibris in due time. E. G. Power

On a scale of one to ten because as writers we are so busy creating where would you place this in the line of priorities?

I am wondering if you have some suggestions as to how to find a peer author group. Do you have some names of groups? Google is not always a good answer but I would rather have someone recommend a peer group. Thanks.
