Taylor University’s Professional Writers Conference

It’s not too late to register for Taylor University’s Professional Writers Conference in Upland, Indiana, July 28-30, 2022. They have an advanced writer and teen track this year.

What is unique about this event is you can sign up to spend time with the presenters and ask them any questions. You can see a list of presenters and registration information at Taylorprofessionalwritersconference.weebly.com.

You can also consign your books to be sold during the event.

I have attended this conference before. It is packed with presentations to help hone your writing skills. You also learn what works from experts in the ever-changing publishing industry. I highly recommend this event for professional writers and aspiring indie authors.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Books/Podcasts

Digital Retirement: Replace Your Social Security Income In The Next 12 Months & Retire Early (Wealth With Words) by Michelle Kulp 

Kulp’s book is a number one Amazon Best Seller in three categories. Her premise is simple but not easy. Write a book a month! I’m testing her theory by writing and publishing one book a month for the rest of the year. Want to take the challenge with me?

Reach—Create the Biggest Possible Audience for Your Message, Book, or Cause by Becky Robinson

I discovered Reach through Joanna Penn’s interview with the author. Becky’s message is timely, considering I am publishing a book monthly and co-hosting our first book fair.

Reach is something we introverted authors want but are not comfortable pursuing. To move from writer to successful indie author, Reach is something we need!
