CWC Mt. Diablo June 2023 Branch Meeting Featuring Joey Garcia

The Five Bios Every Author Needs

June 10th, 2023 at 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

Joey Garcia is an editor and author platform coach. She helps writers get known while they’re writing a book, so when it’s published, there’s an audience waiting to read it. Joey’s clients have been interviewed by, or have bylines in, The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian magazine, Ms. magazine, CNN, and The Tamron Hall Show, among others.

Joey is the indie author of When Your Heart Breaks, It’s Opening to Love and has been a featured Relationship Expert in HuffPost, USA Today, Deutsche Welle, KVIE public television, Global Woman TV Sweden, Australia’s Ticker News and Slate’s Dear Prudence podcast. In 2017, Joey established the first-ever literary fellowship in Belize, her birthplace. She partners with literary agents to co-lead an annual retreat in Belize for writers from all over the world. www.joeygarcia.com
