In Partnership with the National JCC Literary Consortium and Led by the Marcus JCC of Atlanta, we are excited to present over 30 author events for you to attend from the comfort and safety of your home. Ticket prices vary, and ticket/book packages are available for some events. Refunds will not be issued, recorded versions of the event will be available for anyone who misses the live event. You will receive an email with the event link 24 hours prior to the start of the event and then again 1 hour before. Emails will come from SHOWCLIX and the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta. The event platform is a zoom webinar. Please be sure to check your junk folder if you do not receive the event link 24 hours before.
