WHAT TO EXPECT

We have a jam-packed day lined up, with the best of the best in the industry, there to share with you all their key learnings to make your book a roaring success! They are book lovers, industry advocates, best-selling authors, and they know what it takes to be successful. 

 

MEET THE EXPERTS

The best of the best when it comes to marketing and sales. Michael Jorgensen is the founder and visionary of FY Consulting, currently the fastest growing marketing firm in Queensland. Michael is the person to turn to for marketing and sales insights. 

He will guide you through all the must know to get your book in front of the right audience and into the right hands!

 

Angela De Palma, Founder of Vision Accountable, and an expert in personal branding will take you on the journey of personal branding, and her presentation is all about fast tracking your goals and success by leveraging your personal brand. 

Angela is one of the most sought-after personal brand specialists, and as an independently published author understands better than anyone, the power of personal branding.

 

Mary Wong, the powerhouse of self-leadership and writing coaching, and founder of Optimal Life Solutions, is one person to have in your corner. As a 5-time best-selling Amazon author herself, she understands the need for self-leadership through the book writing journey. 

 

Riz McDonald is our lawyer and creative rights extraordinaire. This is the segment where you will learn about how to best protect your creative rights, now and into the future. 
We have all heard the horror stories. Having not just someone from legal, but an expert whose sole focus is on supporting creatives, Riz is the must-meet of the industry. 

 

Do you judge a book by its cover? Your book cover is the first thing readers see and in today’s fast paced visual world, it’s easy to skip past images that don’t stand out or pique our interest. A great cover will capture attention and intrigue your target audience, evoke emotion and reflect the style and themes of the book. This is achieved through strategic design choices.

Alicia is an experienced graphic designer, and the founder of Struck by Violet. With one chance to make that first impression on a reader, don't let this opportunity pass you by! 

 

The day wouldn't be complete without the expertise shared when it comes to printing and publishing. Jason Leigh Smith, owner and Director of Clark and Mackay, is the man to connect with. As an independently published author himself, and with the full scale of printing and publishing services available under his umbrella, you will always have the right people on your team. No matter how much or how little you wish to do yourself through the publishing journey, Jason and his team will be there to support you. 
Jason and Clark and Mackay has supported authors currently listed with House of Prose, and comes highly recommended. This is your chance to ask all the questions to turn your book manuscript into reality!

 

WHAT'S MORE

This is not just a day of learning, it is a day to be inspired and a day to connect with others. 

In addition to the presentations, there will be an author panel, where you get to hear from authors who have walked the walk, and now can talk the talk! 

And we are not stopping there. After the formal part of the event, you will have the opportunity to speak with all the presenters as well as network and get to know your fellow writers in a relaxed and informal setting. 

The event space is small and intimate, nestled meters away from the Obi creek, where platypus are sighted regularly, the calm and relaxed venue will make for a highly personal experience.
