In this two hour seminar, two best-selling, award winning, formerly traditionally published indie authors share the one year process they’ve developed for launching a successful indie publishing career in a crowded and ever-changing market. This is not the only path to self-publishing success, but the program they will teach has been proven to work for them and others.

Attendees should come away with a fully formed plan to launch themselves into self-publishing and a better understanding of what it takes to make a living wage as an independent author.

From series concept development through the first six-figure year, the workshop will delve into the specifics of every major aspect of the strategic plan. The authors will share tips, techniques, and proven tactics to teach attendees how to:

• Create a series concept that meets the market but still stands out
• Develop a one year production calendar
• Set a realistic budget
• Meet all deadlines with multiple third parties (artists, editors, proofreaders) involved
• Implement effective and affordable marketing techniques
• Add “passive” income through ancillary programs such as shared worlds, foreign rights, spin-off series, and audio books.
• Review the greatest challenges and impediments to success, suggest solutions

In addition, the authors will candidly answer questions regarding their successful self-publishing careers and the strategies that have worked for them.
