Since 2010, we have hosted the Nonfiction Writers Conference–an annual event featuring 15 speakers over three days–all delivered online by teleseminar!
Speakers typically give a lecture of around 40 minutes and then take questions for 10 to 15 minutes.
This is not your typical telesummit pitch-fest! Speakers are carefully selected and asked to bring the highest value possible to their sessions!
All recordings from past sessions are available for purchase.
