OFF THE SHELF
Off the Shelf is an author-to-readers program developed and hosted by the Sisters in Crime Atlanta Chapter. Every month we bring a recently published author to our reader audience via Zoom for engaging conversation to learn about their life, their writing, their characters, their stories. The program is free and open to the public.
If you are an author and would like to be considered for Off The Shelf, please email Dawn Gepfer (dawngepfer@aol.com) with your information.
