Author 101 University Crash-Course

I went to Author 101 University Crash-Course with my friend Bob Franquiz this week. It was amazing.

I have to admit, I got sick of seeing sweater-vests and dreads. There was quite a strange group of people there.

The speakers were Mark Victor Hansen, Rick Frishman,
Brendon Burchard, Robyn Freedman Spizman, David Hancock, Jill Lublin, James Malinchak, Alex Carroll. For me Hansen and Malinchak were the best.

Overall, I got challenged on things like:

*Titles
*Marketing
*Radio contacts
*Working with nonprofits
*Agents
*Contracts
*Editing
*and a whole bunch more

If you ever get a chance to go to the next one, do it. It will be extremely helpful as it informs and focuses you as you tackle your first writing project. The price was very fair considering how much you get. I highly recommend it.

It also got me considering self-publishing again. We’ll see…
