More local networking in France: Grand Ouest Authors (GOA)

Steve Mansfield-Devine

Steve Mansfield-Devine reports on yet another networking site in France designed to bring authors together. It is informative and looks like fun.

A new group in North-West France hopes to bring an end to the isolation felt by many English-language book authors living in France. Grand Ouest Authors (GOA) provides a free network for writers in Brittany, Normandy and the Pays de la Loire, and it’s seeking new members who are interested in joining forces to promote themselves and their books.

The GOA website provides a shop window for authors and their books, a group blog, an online shop and a forum to exchange ideas and organise events. The group also plans to have a presence in the real world, with authors collaborating on activities such as group book signings, attendance at cultural events and marketing to local retail outlets.
