Do you have a message that you want to share with the world?
Do you have a great concept or unique ideas for a book?
Are you burning with passion for your words to bring inspiration to others?
Are you looking for guidance on what to do next?

There’s never been a better time to become a published author! Advances in modern technology and changes in the book publishing industry have opened up a wealth of opportunity. By taking part in this industry-led workshop, you’ll learn what it takes to write a book, and will be privy to insight from industry legends, who could propel you from unknown author to household name!

The Hay House Writer’s Workshop will be an insightful and practical one-day event, jam-packed with over 50 years of combined writing and publishing experience. Reid Tracy, President of Hay House Inc, will share the latest information on how to launch your career as an author. Starting with just three books, Reid Tracy transformed Hay House into one of the largest independent publishing companies in the world, and the leading publisher in the self-help genre.

Reid Tracy will be joined by Leon Nacson, Managing Director of Hay House Australia; and a number of world-renowned Hay House authors as special guests. These luminaries will share their knowledge and their combined wisdom will give you insights to help you publish your own book.

What you’ll learn:

• Organising your thoughts and refining your work
• Preparing a proposal
• Getting a publisher’s attention
• Maintaining determination and focus
• Gaining information about new publishing avenues
• Understanding book genres
• Using online marketing to successfully launch a book or product

A special feature of this workshop will be insights from leading Hay House authors on how they got their first book published!
