2) Register and attend the conference. Listen and learn how to improve your writing, market effectively and sell more books! Genre discussion groups, breakout sessions, author interviews, meet the vendors and listen to the award-winning Keynote Speaker, John Torres, an award-winning investigative journalist with Florida Today.
