What a wonderful experience it was to have so many talented writers in one room! The patrons who stopped by our tables were so inquisitive and so enthusiastic about the stories we wanted to share. Tremendous positive vibe overall! For me, I truly enjoyed the opportunity to speak with my "author neighbors" and to hear about their writing journeys and completed works. I cannot wait for more opportunities to interact with them and with future readers!!
Sincerely,

I would like to share with the group that I enjoyed the Zest event tremendously. I had the benefit of launching a new book and sharing my previous book with local friends, family and neighbors who came out in support of me. Thank you Zest and Long Island Authors. Might I suggest you do another similar event in Nassau County, so those of us who have supporters in NYC and Nassau can attend and buy some signed copies as well?
Thank you,
Sincerely,

Robert Johnson

I personally have benefitted from the exposure from Long Island Authors. I have sold several books, gotten more clicks on my blog and several new subscribers to my newsletters.

Just left the first Long Island Authors Event. What a spectacular time. So many great people, so many great stories. It was a true pleasure to be part of it and meet the individuals who wrote these novels. I think the next one is going to be amazing and excited to see what happens. Shout out to people behind the scenes, the great people there, and the cameraman. He worked his tail off tonight.

I recently joined Long Island Authors and I'm glad that I got in on time to join this event. It's quite a turnout. I'm very happy to see all these people and I have several guests I've invited. Hopefully they'll turn out and buy some books. And I know the food is really good here. I've been here before. So I'm glad to be a part of this.
