Ebook income often dominates an author’s royalty reports, but there’s so much untapped potential in your print formats. Learn how you can double-dip on books with special editions, direct sales, Kickstarter campaigns, and more.

It’s time to treat your business with the respect it deserves, so grab your notebook, because this class will deliver an MBA worth of information in just an hour!

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Hi, we’re Alessandra Torre and Terezia Barna – and we’ve spent years accelerating authors’ success with programs and conferences.

Alessandra is a 7X NYT bestselling author, with over thirty books, published traditionally and indie. Terezia is a marketing expert and author consultant, with a passion for helping independent authors.

In 2019, we started examining the qualities, knowledge, and resources authors need to fulfill their potential. We found that authors need to master the four pillars of craft, business, marketing, and advertising. 

Each year, we bring together the best in the business to educate authors on the latest and greatest in each of those areas. 


“Inkers Con is an automatic registration for me every year. They have timely topics and speakers best suited to address important aspects of the publishing business. I especially love that they offer craft classes, which are a lost part of many conferences today. I highly recommend this conference for all writers at any stage of their publishing journey.”

Jana DeLeon
New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author
