What does author success look like?
Is it a contract from a traditional publishing house for a massive royalty advance?
Is it making the New York Times bestseller list?
Is it driving a Ferrari to your yacht so you can sun yourself in the Mediterranean?
Or is it simply making enough money to leave that soul-sucking day job behind and live your best life?
One of these success stories has been told again and again by hundreds of authors attending 20Books Vegas. In 2022, there were some 350 authors making full-time money from their writing. Is this you? If not, what’s holding you back? If it is, why do you think arguably successful authors come to Vegas for this show? The answer is because there is always room for improvement. This is where successful authors go for professional development.
20Books Vegas is authors helping authors. The show organizer makes no money off you because 20Booksto50k® is not for profit. So why are we advertising a $399.99 five-day conference? Because we want to do better than break even so we can order extra catering, get better swag for the attendees, provide streaming for a virtual option. We want to help as many people be successful in their author business as possible while in a friendly, safe, and fun environment.
“20Books Vegas changed my life.”
Reserve your seat today to set yourself up for the rest of your life as a successful indie author.
