Dear Author or Publisher,
Most authors can't seem to earn a decent living. Unless you're in the small minority (like Stephen King, for instance) you're probably living from paycheck to paycheck. And I'm sure that's not what you want for yourself and your family.
Maybe you're not even making enough as a writer to work at it full time. Maybe you're working a "day job" to keep the income steady.
It doesn't have to be that way.
The simple truth is this: if you're interested in publishing books and other information products, you need to come to the Publishing Seminar. If you're an author or publisher (or aspiring to be one) this is THE event to attend. You could choose to attend events given by bigger "names" in the field, but I guarantee you that you will NOT learn nearly as much as you will here.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone who wants to massively increase their revenues as an author or publisher should attend this event. If you're an author, speaker, consultant or publisher, this event is tailor-made for you. If you're not one of these and have a product or service to promote you'll be equally well-served.
No matter what your background, this content-packed seminar will change the way you THINK about publishing. And you won’t hear this information anywhere else, either.
If you're not sure, then come anyway - because if you're not thrilled with what you learn, you get your money back. Just check out our guarantee near the end of this page. That way you have nothing to lose.
Who Should NOT Attend?
If you're looking for the SAME OLD STUFF that is continually rehashed in this industry, this event is NOT for you. If you're satisfied with the money you're making, this won't be your event. If you think you "know it all" take a pass on this event. If you’re looking for a PITCHFEST, then don’t come either.
Of course there will be things for you to buy, but you'll get plenty of content - more than 95% of our seminar will be content. We believe in providing high-quality content that you can take home and use right away - and that's what we provide every year that we do this event. Just take a look at the testimonials to see for yourself.
If you want to catapult your career into the stratosphere with people who have discovered secrets you won't hear anywhere else, this event is for you!
What's Different About This Event?
A lot of events in this industry are being presented by the "old guard" with tired ideas and concepts that haven't kept up with the times. Frequently, presenters aren't given enough time to present their information, so you don't get the details you need OR your questions answered. Not so here. You'll get so much immediately useable, profit-making information at this event it will make your head spin!
We'll have a wide range of speakers, each giving YOU their BEST information. All with sufficient time to do their topics justice. They'll have plenty of time to share what they know (and that's a LOT of information so be ready to LEARN). Oh! And by the way - these are people who are actually interested in your long term success - not fattening their wallets or boosting their egos.
And the material covered is the most current information available in the publishing industry - today's marketplace with today's technology - concentrating on maximizing your profits. If book writing and publishing is a hobby to you, this event will NOT be for you. This 1-day extravaganza is strictly for those who consider the publishing business, a BUSINESS. And, the goal of a business is the maximization of revenue and profits.
So if you want to LEARN...REALLY learn current material that is absolutely essential to build a successful publishing business, then sign up NOW.
What Will You Learn Anyway?

You're going to learn so much about how to make it in the publishing business that your head will be spinning!

Moving from his home state of Maryland to New York City after his game experience, Ron sold printing services primarily to small and mid-sized book publishers for over a decade before founding RJ Communications, with an old friend. Ron recognized the potential of the Internet very early as a powerful communications tool. In 1997 he started one of the first printer related websites, www.rjcom.com, which catered to the professional print buyer. This evolved into www.BooksJustBooks.com and more recently www.selfpublishing.com which target the print buying novice, primarily self-publishers. All three sites are still operating successfully and SelfPublishing.com was named as one of Writers Digest's, 101 Best Websites for Writers in 2006. Having swung almost exclusively into self publishing services, the name RJ Communications, LLC was officially changed to Self Publishing, Inc. in 2009.
Educating the novice print buyer has been a top priority from day one. To help address this issue, Ron co-authored the popular title Publishing Basics- a Guide for the Small Press and Independent Self-Publisher, now in its Fourth Edition with a changed subtitle, Navigating the Self Publishing Minefield. He is the organizer of the monthly Publishing Basics Newsletter where he writes a sometimes controversial Ask Ron column which addresses various aspects of the publishing process. Since its inception, RJ Communications, and now Self Publishing, have helped thousands of customers print over 100 million books.
Ron is married and has three children. His daughter, Stephanie, teaches second grade and recently self-published her first two children's book in the Oliver the Clownfish series. Matthew, his oldest son, owns a website design business and Erik, the youngest, is attending Ohio Wesleyan as an economics major.
Print publishing with a major publisher is not for everyone, but if it is for you (or you want to determine if it is), Bill will teach you what he's learned over the course of writing 30+ books, published by major publishers such as W.W. Norton, HarperCollins, John Wiley and Sons, Allyn and Bacon, Penguin, and others. He was not a natural author and developed strategies for getting a book completed and published, and finding and signing with a literary agent. He then went on to coach 100+ books by others into print (one student received a $100,000 advance and another got a $30,000 advance-neither of these authors had every written or published a book previously).
He has now refined this process, informally coaching friends and colleagues over the years (one friend I coached recently got a $30,000 advance) and will reveal the secrets to you in this chock-full-of-useful-and-practical content and strategies presentation.
Bill O'Hanlon has authored or co-authored 30 books, the latest being Quick Steps to Resolving Trauma (W.W. Norton, 2010) and Write is a Verb (Writer’s Digest, July 2007). He has published 57 articles or book chapters. His books have been translated into 16 languages: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, German, Chinese, Bulgarian, Turkish, Korean, Indonesian, Italian, Croatian, Arabic, Polish and Japanese. He has appeared on Oprah (with his book Do One Thing Different), The Today Show, and a variety of other television and radio programs. He has several websites: www.billohanlon.com; www.getyourbookwritten.com; www.bookpublishingpath.com; www.yourlifeoffreedom.com; www.getovertrauma.com
