Description

How Do You Get To Know Your Audience?

Are you skilled at describing and researching avatars?

We're looking for speakers who provide a unique perspective that can help authors gain clarity about their target readers, and perhaps re-thinking who they've chosen as their audience.

Your personal stories supporting your research process and how it worked out in your life or business would be helpful as well.

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.

 

Speakers
Developmental Edits, Because No One Can Read Your Mind
Angela Yuriko Smith Publisher, Author, Coach

Sometimes when we see all, we communicate too much (or not enough!) Join Angela Yuriko Smith as she shares what developmental edits are and why they are essential for serious storytellers. You, the writer, knows what's going on but do your readers? Drawing from her experience as and editor, coach and the publisher of Space and Time magazine and a two-time Bram Stoker Award® winner, Angela offers a wealth of knowledge for aspiring and seasoned writers alike.

How Do You Engage the Readers You're Seeking?
Lil Barcaski CEO of GWN Publishing/Virtual Creatives

I will discuss ways to make your book more compelling to readers so that they can't put the book down. I love to work with new entrepreneurs who write a book to promote their new coaching or consulting businesses. Sharing their expertise in an engaging way gets those folks on stages and in front of potential clients.

Consider the Possibility Mastermind ... How Can You Apply What You Learned Today? Group Discussion.
Marilyn McLeod Speaker, Producer, Publisher

We've all just learned so much from our fellow authors and service providers. How can we leverage what we learned, without overwhelming ourselves?! Group discussion mastermind-style.

Creating Authentic Relationships That Matter
Scott Schilling Media Host - Executive Coach - Authentic Connector

People do life with other people. People do business with other people. We, as human beings are social beings. A social being is someone who is able to live and interact with others, and who is concerned for other people. Social beings are also able to imagine the situations of others.

Social wellbeing is the ability to build and maintain healthy relationships, and to have meaningful interactions with others. It also involves having a sense of belonging and valuing diversity. 

Whether life or business, the foundation of all interactions are the relationships formed between you and those you choose to interact with. Relationships matter. Unfortunately, it seems as a society, we have stopped teaching the Art and Science of creating relationships and instead are becoming tremendously dependent upon handheld and digital devices being the communication method of choice.

The unfortunate byproduct of this digital technology is the division that is being realized between generations and people in general. So, with the problem identified, what is the solution?

Teaching how to, understanding why they're important, and implementing the steps to creating authentic relationships. As a society, we need to bridge the gaps between the generation and people as a whole. This presentation will address the issues, share potential solutions, and explore how to live a more fulfilled life through creating relationships that matter.
