The Empowered Author Summit
Plan, Publish, and Promote With Purpose
Join us for a free three-day virtual summit designed to empower authors at every stage of the publishing journey. From planning and writing to publishing, distribution, and marketing, this event brings together bestselling authors, editors, marketers, and publishing pros to give you the tools and confidence to succeed. Whether you’re starting from scratch or already published and ready to scale—this summit will meet you where you are and help you move forward.
Day 1: Plan & Write
Set the foundation for a powerful book. Explore story structure, memoir writing, and ghostwriting, while learning how to boost your writing productivity, overcome writer’s block, and get expert guidance from book coaches to stay focused and inspired throughout your writing journey.
Day 2: Publish & Distribute
Take your finished manuscript through the publishing process with confidence. Get expert insights on editing, formatting, cover design, and illustration. Learn how to choose the right publishing path (assisted self-publishing vs. DIY), price your book effectively, and set up a distribution strategy that helps you reach more readers.
Day 3: Promote & Profit
Learn how to turn your book into a business. We’ll dive into strategies for branding, building your author platform, and driving book sales through Amazon, eBook marketing, social media, crowdfunding, PR, and more—plus, real insights on how to monetize your expertise and grow your income as an author.
