Meet the Author

Welcome to Meet the Author! Join host Myra Jolivet for friendly chats with Capitol Crimes authors about their latest books and writing careers.

Meet the Author is more than a book club. It's a chance to speak with actual authors, find out what inspires their stories and characters, and learn about their writing processes and pathways to publication. A Q&A following Myra's interview allows readers to explore the hidden layers between the pages.

Anyone can attend Meet the Author, and there is no cost to participate. Events will be held every other month on Zoom. Participants must register for Zoom link.

Authors interested in being a featured guest may complete the application form below. Deadline to submit is January 15, 2025.

We’re looking forward to meeting you and introducing readers to new authors!
