Welcome to Mingle & Margaritas!
“I arrived at this event knowing no one and left with sound advice, new critique partners, and that warm-and-fuzzy feeling you get from encouraging friends.”
What is Mingle & Margaritas? It is a casual get together of kidlit writers and authors in Georgia, organized by local authors. You do not have to be a published author to participate. Our mission is to build community, share knowledge, support each other during hard times and celebrate our success! We usually meet at a local bookstore and invite a guest speaker to discuss a topic related to the publishing industry.
This is a community event so we ask attendees to contribute towards food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

I’m really looking forward to the next Mingle and Margaritas!” – Rebecca Cha, food and travel writer featured in Food and Wine, The Wine Enthusiast, The Wine Spectator and others.
