Everybody has a book in them. If you believe that this especially applies to you, then let us help you to get it out.

Getting your work published may be easier than you believe. It’s never been a better time to be an author. All you may need is the insider knowledge of how to get a publisher’s attention.

Reid Tracy, President of Hay House Inc., who transformed Hay House into one of the largest independent publishing companies in the world, will share priceless information on how to launch your career as an author.

Reid will be joined by Leon Nacson, Managing Director of Hay House Australia. A special feature of this workshop will be insights from a number of Hay House authors on their publishing journey.

This is the perfect opportunity to bring your idea into reality. Advances in technology and changes in the publishing industry have created new opportunities.
