Publishing Your Own Book Has Never Been Easier!
Our experts show you how simple it is to realize the dream of holding your own book in your hands and sharing your message with the world!
Traditional publishers are cutting acquisitions and advances, making it harder than ever to get a lucrative book contract.
Meanwhile, thanks to incredible advances in digital technologies, there has never been a better time to publish your own books.
Attend the Self-Publishers Online Conference (SPOC), and learn everything you need to know about how to get your book
out of your head and into the hands of your readers.
"I learned more from this conference than any other I have attended."
~ Pat Dranchak
Three Key Reasons to Attend SPOC
- Gain access to publishing experts who have successfully sold literally millions of books and created businesses from their books.
- Avoid travel aggravation. No airplanes, security checkpoints, hauling luggage, etc. Listen from the comfort of your desk. Or listen whenever you like if you buy the downloads or CDs. Many of the speakers are the same ones who speak at Book Expo and the IBPA Publishers University in NYC.
- Meet other "book people." Interact with other authors and publishers and learn from your peers via virtual networking and Q&A Roundtables.
If you ignore this kind of conference, you're not serious about self-publishing.

The Self-Publishers Online Conference was filled with invaluable information and blessedly devoid of "the hype" I have come to abhor in the teleseminars and workshops of "the million dollar authors" group. I am totally burned out on hearing how everyone has become a millionaire and I have told people that this conference seemed filled with "real" people, doing "real" work and working hard at it...that there was essentially no self promotion going on and the only plugs were given by the moderators who would tell us the speakers website and send us to the exhibit hall. You've no idea how much I appreciated that.

Two Years in a Row — SPOC Is a Hit!
In 2009 and 2010, we recruited a group of the most recognized names in the self publishing industry to share their knowledge and experiences at SPOC. Our attendees were amazed by the valuable information the speakers shared. Visit the Recordings page to see the wide range of topics our speakers covered and see more of what our attendees had to say in their own words.
Incredible hands on advice. Great expertise. Loved the moderators. Really seemed to "get it" and redirect speakers to help new writers. Had a real sense of honesty and "good people" feel. Incredibly talented mix of presenters. Liked the hand outs and resources. Quite an eye opener for a novice. Suspect equally valuable for experienced writers too. Market place feature terrific. Great values. Signed up for free consult with 1 presenter. He gave me an hour of his expertise instead of just 15 minutes. Liked that material was detailed yet presented so that even a novice could understand. Absolutely wonderful. Presenters made it plain how involved process is. Thank you so much. Loved it.
