I'm searching for book authors in France's Grand Ouest region - Brittany, Normandy and the Pays de la Loire. I'm creating a networking group - Grand Ouest Authors - to explore the possibilities of joint promotional and marketing activities. The group is for writers who have books in print (either through mainstream publishers or self-published), or who have books in progress that they plan to publish in the near future. Beginners welcome. We also want to work alongside existing writers groups in the region. There are no fees - this is about co-operation and mutual support. I’ve posted a blog here, which explains more: http://www.grandouestauthors.com/blog/2009/12/01/grand-ouest-authors/ If this sounds like you, pop over to http://www.grandouestauthors.com/join.html to register your interest (without commitment) and I'll keep you posted as things progress. @+ Steve
