Imagine A Conference In Your Living Room

Writer’s conferences are great. The energy from the event, the connections you make, and the skills you learn make conferences a great investment.

But they can also be expensive, exhausting, and overwhelming. You get dozens of hours of information packed into a few days. You have to travel.

And you can spend a small fortune, even on a low-cost conference.

For example… your conference fee is $100. You have to add $300 for airfare (not including baggage fees), $300 for a 3-nights stay at a hotel, and around $100 for food.

That’s $800, and that’s assuming you do nothing but eat, sleep, and attend the conference. (On top of that, those are VERY conservative estimate.)

And after the event is over you can’t ask questions…you can’t pause an event because you need to go to the bathroom. If you miss something, you miss it.

And you have to pay for it all up front.

With the BestSeller Society, you do not spend a penny up front. You have a low monthly investment (which means we have to work really hard to keep you satisfied!), and, if you ever feel we aren’t giving you what you need, you can cancel your membership with one click. If you cancel within 30 days of becoming a member, we'll give you a full refund.

No hassles, no questions asked.

But what if I love conferences…is the BestSeller Society right for me?

Absolutely!

If you love conferences, you can think of the BestSeller Society not only as a writer’s conference in a box, but also as a way to get pre- and post-conference support.

You’ll be prepared and know what to ask, who to talk to, and how to set appropriate goals for the conference
You gain the confidence and ability to effectively approach agents and publishers

Post-conference support

Ask questions that didn’t get completely answered
Ask questions that came to you after the event
