3. Get insights from multiple industry perspectives Hear from a data scientist, traditional publishing bookstore rep, journalist, digital marketer, publisher, successful author and businessperson, and marketing strategist. Each brings a crucial piece of the authorship puzzle.

Comprehensive model, not scattered advice This isn't random tips and tricks. The 360-Degree Author approach gives you a complete framework that connects craft AND commerce, intuition AND insight, creativity AND strategy.
5. Hands-on learning throughout the day The Experience Room, writing exercises with Karen
Bouchard, and 360 Reflections sessions mean you'll practice what you're learning, not just hear about it.
6. Networking that actually matters Lunch with speakers at your table, dedicated networking time, and connecting with fellow writers who are serious about their craft creates relationships that extend beyond the
conference.
7. Personal consultation opportunity The first 10 people to sign up at the event receive a one-on-one consultation with publishing veteran Larry Yoder, who discovered Brandon Sanderson. This alone could change your trajectory as an author.
8. Complete transformation in one day Walk in asking "What do I do now?" and walk out with a clear roadmap for your writing career. Become not just a better writer, but a smarter, more equipped, resilient, and well-rounded author.
