The Expert to Authority Book Summit is a 5-day virtual event for coaches, consultants, thought leaders, and book professionals who want to turn their expertise into recognised authority through a strategically positioned book.

This is not a hobby-author event.

It’s for experts who want:

  • Visibility beyond social media noise

  • A book that elevates their positioning

  • A launch strategy that builds momentum

  • A business model that extends beyond royalties

Over five days, we will explore the full pathway:
Identity → Authority Positioning → Book Strategy → Visibility → Monetisation → Professional Launch

Each day includes a keynote framework session from the host, followed by curated expert conversations designed to provide practical insight, real case studies, and bold thinking.

What We’re Looking For

We’re inviting 4–5 speakers per day who can contribute one of the following:

  • Case studies of turning a book into authority

  • Strategic book positioning insights

  • Audience-building before publication

  • Launch strategy and pre-sales

  • Book-to-business model expansion

  • Certification or IP licensing

  • Collaboration and partnership strategies

  • Clear lessons learned (including what didn’t work)

We’re especially interested in speakers who:

  • Share real transformation stories

  • Can offer tactical insight (not just inspiration)

  • Understand positioning and authority-building

  • Have measurable outcomes or specific results

A limited number of spotlight sessions are reserved for my outstanding students who demonstrate a clear before/after authority shift.

 

Event format

 

  • Virtual

  • 8am–12pm PT daily

  • 30-45 minute presentation per speaker

  • Live + replay access

Speakers are encouraged to bring their audience and will receive:

  • Visibility to a curated expert audience

  • Affiliate commission opportunities

  • Access to speaker assets and swipe copy

  • Invitation to a private partner briefing

 

Tone & Positioning

This summit is strategic, elevated, and business-focused.

Every session should answer one core question:

How does this help an expert step into recognised authority through their book?

 

If you’d like to contribute to a conversation that elevates the way experts think about books, visibility, and authority, we would love to hear from you.
