“The incredible amount of VALUE!!!!! Such generosity!!! This was far and away the best $97 I have ever spent/invested!!! I also really liked having the breakout small group sessions for both networking and socializing purposes. Picked up a few people for my launch team and joined some other people’s. :)”
Lisa Moore
“The event was wonderful. My favorite part was the breakout sessions. I gained so much from the feedback in my groups and it was good to build relationships with students going forward.”
Barbara Lennon
“My favorite part was the great information provided by all the speakers and the breakout sessions. And writing the letter to my future self. That was memorable and can’t wait to see myself next year at AAL 2021 reading this letter and seeing all the amazing things that came to past over the year that I accomplished.”
Janice Gregory

This Year’s Author Advantage Live
Is For You If…
You have always wanted to write books for a living but have had no idea where to start or how to grow your income.
You’ve published a single book and initial sales have tanked but you’re not sure why or how to move toward consistent book sales.
You have always felt like the timing is never “quite right” to take the leap to full-time author (spoiler: it may never “feel” right, but we can get you there without taking years to do it!)
You’ve always lacked the community and network to truly aid in your journey from one book to several successfully published books.
You have all the ideas for books and series but aren’t sure how to take those ideas and create reliable habits for publishing and scaling them all.
You love to write but are clueless when it comes to marketing your books for consistent and reliable book sales.
You’re ready to pour into yourself and your dreams to build the life you’ve always wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Author Advantage Live
When is Author Advantage Live 2021?
Thursday August 19th – Saturday August 21st 2021
Where will this year's Author Advantage Live be held?
Just like last year, Author Advantage Live 2021 will be a virtual experience held over Zoom with hundreds of authors from around the world connecting together in one place.
What will we learn?
Last year, we had topics ranging from launching your book, growing your author brand, selling more books, and expanding Beyond The Book with a business.
This year, we’re so excited for Author Advantage Live 2021 to be all about helping authors Take The Next Step by learning what it truly takes to explode your author career and consistently sell books to increase your income, expand your impact, and build the author career you’ve always wanted.
What is an "experience" vs an "event"?
At Author Advantage Live, it’s more than an event, it’s an experience, which last year’s attendees have defined as “inspirational”, “community”, “feel like I’m in the same room,” “breakout rooms to meet other authors”, and more!
We bring together authors from all over the world to meet, work together, connect, and support one another while experiencing the perks of a live event with speakers, the best quality content and information available for this industry right now, and a dedicated team of life-changers to ensure you have what you need every step of the way.
Ultimately, it can’t really be explained…you just have to experience it 😉
Is this for fiction or nonfiction?
Do I have to attend all 3 days? What if I can only attend parts?
We always encourage authors to attend LIVE for the full benefits of Author Advantage Live, but we understand not everybody can make it. For those, we offer our VIP experience, which includes all recordings of all sessions delivered 30-60 days after the experience is over.
Can I bring a friend this year?
Yes! We always encourage authors to bring a friend with a Bring-A-Friend ticket. This is included FREE with a VIP Ticket to Author Advantage Live, but can also be purchased separately.
