Nonfiction Authors: You’ll feel at home here!

The fact is that nonfiction authors have long been a neglected community. Most writers’ groups and writers’ conferences focus on fiction. But if you’re a nonfiction author, your needs are different. Your marketing tactics are different, your sales process is different, and your goals are probably different. Many nonfiction authors are also entrepreneurs, speakers, consultants, coaches, medical, financial and legal professionals, and service-based business owners. Writing and promoting a nonfiction book can be a phenomenal way to grow your business. The possibilities are truly endless and we can help you discover them!

You don’t have to do it alone.
We’ll get you through your publishing journey.

Message From the Nonfiction Authors Association Founder and CEO, Stephanie Chandler:

Greetings fellow writers,

As an author myself, I know how overwhelming the publishing industry can be. I also understand the challenges  (and frustrations) of traditional publishing, self-publishing and book marketing. None of this is easy! And if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, you’ve come to the right place. Stephanie Chandler - Nonfiction Authors Association and Writers Conference

The Nonfiction Authors Association was born from the Nonfiction Writers Conference, an annual online event I’ve hosted since 2010. Each year attendees wanted to know how to keep the momentum going. So, in 2013 we launched NFAA as a way to bring nonfiction authors together in a supportive community to learn,  brainstorm, share ideas and resources, and support each other in building successful author careers.

I’m also a big believer in the power of nonfiction books to change the lives of readers. As nonfiction authors, we have a unique opportunity to reach readers around the globe and make a positive impact on their lives. And while writing a book is one of life’s most rewarding accomplishments, it can also be a lonely and overwhelming journey. But it doesn’t have to be that way!

I understand the power of using a book as a tool to grow your business, get media exposure, attract speaking engagements and corporate sponsorship opportunities, and so much more. It is a great joy for me to build this community and bring together valuable resources and industry experts to help you achieve your goals.

I hope you will join us today. Together, we can make big things happen in the world!

Wishing you abundant joy and success,

Stephanie Chandler
