The conference comes to a dramatic close with this all-conference event. The main program is an interactive Town Hall event on the crucial issue of discoverability, in which a panel of experts in the field of book publicity, promotion, marketing and bookselling appraise and evalute case studies from the audience of aspiring, emerging and established authors. Through the lens of real up and coming projects, we will discuss the various ways authors can build, find and keep audiences and some strategies for doing so. Participants will reconvene with their cohorts to continue the conversation. The day will end with a celebration of the conference's 15th anniversary.  Expect to leave the conference with lots of information you didn't have before -- especially on the issue of finding audience -- new ideas and support from your cohort, and maybe even an action plan to complete your project.
