May 8-10, 2024 Virtual Nonfiction Writers Conference
The Nonfiction Writers Conference can help you navigate the overwhelming world of publishing and empower you to create your path to success!
Leverage Book Awards to Sell More Books with Lisa Tener
Plus Ask-A-Pro Sessions
And here’s a secret: While the private Ask-a-Pro sessions are normally 15 minutes, I’ve asked them to schedule mine 30 minutes apart so we can have a bit more time if you need it! Ask-a-Pro is completely FREE for Gold, Platinum, and VIP attendees of NFWC! (Not available to Live-access attendees.)
The opening speaker is Jane Friedman, author of The Business of Being a Writer. And Stephanie Chandler, founder of the Nonfiction Authors Association and this conference, is a fabulous interviewer.
Depending on the registration level, attendees can access the following benefits:
- Live educational sessions delivered by Zoom webinar, including Q&A with most speakers.
- Pitch the Agents LIVE! is an interactive double session in which several literary agents listen to author pitches and give constructive feedback. If agents like what they hear, they will request proposals from participants. (Participants must apply to participate; 20 participants will be selected.)
- Attendee Networking Event, which features small group discussions held with Zoom breakout rooms.
- Ask-a-Pro sessions, delivered as one-on-one phone and video consultations with industry pros. Many attendees feel these are worth the price of admission alone.
- Recordings and transcripts are available for those who can’t attend live sessions.
- Private Facebook group.
The Nonfiction Writers Conference has a long history of delivering content-rich learning sessions with industry experts and helping accelerate the careers of attendees. If you’re ready to take your author business to the next level, don’t miss this powerful event.

Choosing Your Publishing Path: Traditional, Hybrid or Self? with Lisa Tener
Do I have a shot at getting a traditional publisher? What are traditional publishers looking for? What are the advantages of self publishing? What about hybrid publishing? How do I find high quality freelance publishing support? What should I consider in deciding what publishing path to take?
When it comes to deciding on your publishing path, there’s no one-size-fits-all. Many traditionally published authors are now choosing to self-publish some of their books. As the publishing landscape continues to change, new considerations emerge.
In this presentation, in addition to answering the above questions, book coach and book proposal expert Lisa Tener will share the pros and cons of various publishing paths, advice to get the most out of your chosen path, how to avoid scams and other problems and how to assemble a high quality publishing team, whatever path you choose. Lisa will share the questions to ask a publisher and other publishing professionals.
Lisa will leave plenty of time to answer individual questions as well.
