Author Nation 2025
I’m in Las Vegas this week, for the Author Nation conference (which evolved from the ’20 Books to 50k’ conferences). This is from their ‘About Us’ page:
We believe successful authors are built, not born. Our mission is to empower writers to thrive in the golden age of content creation by fostering connections with industry experts, peers, and readers.
That fits exactly with what I need: to continue to build my business (both the writing and the craft sides of it), and to learn more about:
- building my business brand
- creating great products
- advertising the great products
- selling the products through various outlets
The conference hasn’t even started yet, but I know it’s going to be incredibly useful for me as an ‘indie creative’. Although my writing has had to take a back seat to many other life-y things over the last few years, I realised the other day that I’m actually a ‘five-figure creative’ already. (Thanks, Amazon Handmade!) I’m hoping that Author Nation 2025 will boost my knowledge and motivation so much that I’ll continue to creep toward 6-figure status.
In the meantime I’ve been for a swim in the pool at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower!
