What we want from you:

How Do Authors Know They're Writing The Right Book?
What has been your experience, either writing a book that was well received and furthered your career, or a book that just didn't do very well?
Have you gained clarity about what worked and what didn't?
What wisdom can you share to help other authors who are considering which book to write next?
What's In It For You?
Let us know in your application what benefit you'd like as a result of your presentation. Some ideas:
- If you've written books that lead to your services, you'll be able to share your opt in page link to your lead magnet.
- If you're looking for a support group of authors or others to help you, this is a great way to introduce yourself to potential members of your support group.
- You'll receive a link to a recording of your presentation so you can use it as a way to introduce yourself to future collaborators and clients.
- Depending on your presentation and how it fits into Marilyn's future plans, you may be invited to participate in subsequent programs and opportunities.
