This year, for the first time since 2013, I’ll be back in Denver, Colorado for the AuthorU Extravaganza, a 3-day deep dive into indie publishing.

This event is the brainchild of Contributing Writer, professional book shepherd, and founder of AuthorU, Judith Briles.

It’s my second time at the AuthorU Extravaganza. The memories I have of the first one are vivid. I spent so much time in one-on-one sessions with the authors there, I felt like I had talked to everyone at the event.

And the energy level is very high due to Judith’s nonstop enthusiasm and incredible organization.

I’ll be giving two sessions, one on getting traffic for your blog, and a new one that I call “The Nonfiction Author and the Sideways Table of Contents.” Interested? See below, and a great discount Judith is offering until September 1.

Act Now for a Big Discount on the AuthorU Extravaganza

Here’s the rundown on the event. Complete information, schedules, and registration is linked on the main page here: AuthorU Information. Here’s an overview:

  1. The focus this year is Daring Greatly. We ’ve assembled the “best of the best” to take you and your book to soaring heights of publishing and marketing success. There are 25 exceptional experts and presenters ready to share a “no-holds-back” information and advice.
  2. Book Marketing Expert John Kremer will be doing a very, very special Deep Dive Dinner Workshop on Thursday, September 15th. John’s classic, 1001 Ways to Market Your Book is launching with an all new edition and updated. If you want insider book marketing tips, you can’t afford to miss this remarkable session. John has shown authors how to dare greatly for years; he has mentored authors who have sold over a billion books and is founder of the Billion Book Initiative to help the next generation of book authors sell another billion books. Are you ready to Dare Greatly and be part of this next generation?

  3. All sessions are General Sessions on Friday and Saturday, so you don’t have to choose, you hear it ALL.

  4. Ask the Experts and Pick Their Brains. You have questions—all our speakers are Experts. One thing many wanted was more time to mix with the speakers. Ask the Experts (our speakers) takes place during lunch when you will have at least one speaker/expert at your table PLUS you can book individual time throughout Friday and Saturday. Ask the Experts and Pick Their Brains are open to all attendees and includes lunch.

  5. Evening Reception. On Friday after Rounds with the Pros before our gourmet dinner (and we do mean gourmet), Ingram Spark is hosting a reception for attendees and speakers. Building community is important to authors—your growing network is invaluable to your success. This is open to all attendees.

  6. Call the hotel and reserve your room at a special reduced rate. Right now, rates are posted online through the “hotel discount” sites at $184. You get $119 PLUS free parking, which saves an additional $13 per day. There is a free shuttle if you are flying into Denver International Airport (DIA).
