BOOKTHEWRITER presents "Pop-Up Book Groups" with some of the most exciting novelists, memoirists, humorists, biographers, non-fiction writers and essayists at work today. Capped at around 20 participants, and hosted in private homes in NYC with a simultaneous Zoom, Pop-Up Book Groups provide an extraordinary opportunity to have a real conversation with an author whose work you've long admired, or whom you've just discovered. Please purchase the book (any format), read it in advance, and come with lots of questions for the author. Meeting address in Manhattan and Zoom link will be sent to registrants one week before the book group.
Fall book groups are announced each August. Winter/Spring book groups are announced in December or early January. Want to hear about our book groups as they're posted? Sign up for our mailing list at bookthewriter.com
In-Person Attendants will be sent the physical address (in Manhattan) one week before the event.
Online Attendants will be sent the Zoom link one week before the event. A BOOKTHEWRITER intern will be in the Zoom room with you to assist you in asking questions directly to the author or to read your question on your behalf. During the event, please address questions to the intern.
If the event you wish to attend in person is sold out, you are encouraged to add your name to the waitlist. If you wish to purchase an online ticket while you remain on the waitlist, feel free. If an in-person ticket becomes available (which happens frequently) your online ticket will be refunded.
Refunds: Officially, refunds are on a case-by-case basis, but we urge you not to request a refund for an in-person ticket, especially close to the event. Even if there is a waitlist, it is often impossible to find someone who can attend at the last minute. If you are no longer able to attend, you may, of course, give your ticket to someone else. You may also switch to online attendance -- just email us and ask for the link.
