Indie Author Conference 2011

Thank you for helping make the Indie Author Conference 2011 a success!

You can be in the middle of a mix of publishing executives, literary agents, New York Times bestselling authors, Hollywood executives, and more at the inaugural Indie Author Conference.

Hosted by Author Solutions, the Indie Author Conference was developed from years of experience working with authors. Interactive workshops, seminars and panels covering topics in writing, publishing and marketing will equip you to reach your goals as a self-published author.

We were thrilled to welcome our keynote speakers Michael Hyatt, chairman of the largest Christian publishing company in the world, Thomas Nelson Publishers, and Lisa Genova, The New York Times best-selling author of Still Alice, originally self-published.
