"Authors will learn how to expand your brand, your earnings and your reputation as the authority in your field," said Frishman, president of Morgan-James publishing and best-selling author of several books on publicity and marketing. "After three days at Author 101 University you'll leave with the precise tools to propel yourself into the top 3% of any industry."
The conference is the perfect place for experts, authors, speakers and consultants to network with agents, book publishing insiders, representatives from publishing companies.
"The networking alone will change your life and business. Come be a part of our family," he said.

"You'll be engaged as these top pros share their expertise, reveal the inner workings of the publishing industry, and discuss various approaches to common marketing and publishing challenges," Frishman said.
Aspiring authors will learn the answers to such questions as:
- What are publishers like Harper Collins, Morgan James, Adams Media, Wiley, Random House, and Simon & Schuster looking for?
- What is the best way to get your manuscript read when you're an unpublished author?
- What are the biggest mistakes to avoid when writing book proposals?
- What do you need to know to get a yes from agents and publishers?
This information is especially timely because publishing experts estimate 15 million books were published in 2012 – a 500% increase.
"That means authors face increased competition to get people to find, buy and read books. Most authors never build a sustainable business based on their books or sell more than 500 copies of their books," he said.
"You'll get more out of this $497 seminar than any event this year offered at any price in the publishing industry," he said. To register, click here.
