Meet the People Who Can Change What’s Possible for Your Book

Are you an entrepreneurial author? A speaker, coach, consultant, or business owner using a book to share your expertise, build relationships, and generate revenue.

If so, the right conversation can save you time, help you avoid costly mistakes, and introduce you to opportunities you may not have considered.

At Author Connections, you’ll meet other entrepreneurial authors and trusted Hub Partners who understand that publishing a book is only the beginning.

Meet Our Hub Partners

Biz Book Pub Hub Partners are experienced professionals who support entrepreneurial authors before, during, and after publication.

  • Review-focused launches
  • Ghostwriting
  • Podcasting and media
  • Speaking and thought leadership
  • Branding and messaging

This isn't a networking event where everyone is trying to sell something. It's a community built around helping entrepreneurial authors succeed.

  • You have a book or book idea related to your business.
  • You want your book to support your business and professional goals.
  • You enjoy learning from and supporting others.

  • You're curious about what's possible for your book beyond publication.

This event is not focused on:

  • Fiction writing
  • Bestseller strategies
  • Writing critiques

If you're looking for shortcuts or hype, this probably isn't your room.

GUEST SPEAKER: Steve Sarner

TOPIC: Optimize Your Amazon Listing

Your book's Amazon page works as a sales page, a first impression, and often the first time a prospect meets you.

Many authors set it up once at launch and never revisit it.

In this 15-minute session, Steve Sarner, who spent eight years at Amazon Books, will walk through the listing elements that help turn browsers into buyers. The more readers your book reaches, the more chances you have to meet your next client.

You'll learn:

  • Which parts of your Amazon listing matter most and how to improve them without starting over, including the title, subtitle, description, categories, and keywords
  • How your reviews and listing quality affect everything else you do, including advertising
  • How to use your Amazon Author Central page to strengthen your book's presence on Amazon

Steve will also touch on Goodreads, the world's largest community of readers wholly owned by Amazon and more imprtant than ever for your book.
