Have you ever dreamed of writing a book and becoming a best-selling author?
Maybe it is a dream that you keep putting off, for one reason or another. Quite possibly you've already written a book (or books) but don't know the next steps to take in order to get it published.
Or maybe you are one of thousands of people I meet each and every day who have already written and published a book, but you aren't selling as many copies as you would like.
That's exactly why I created a special "by invitation only" conference where you'll discover insider secrets, cutting-edge techniques and marketing strategies that top authors are using to get their books published and on the bestseller lists.
And keep them there for weeks, months and even years at a time!
Of course, the conference I'm referring to is my.
Mega Book Marketing University 2008
February 29th, March 1st & March 2nd 2008
Thanks to the success I've enjoyed with Chicken Soup for the Soul, I have unprecedented access to the world's leading authors, publishers, literary agents and book marketing experts.
These are some of the most powerful - and influential - deal makers in the book publishing industry today.
They are the ones behind the major publishing deals. They are the gate-keepers and key-guardians who have the power and authority to say "yes" to your book idea and skyrocket your career instantly!
And here's the best part.
I've persuaded these publishing pros, industry icons and semantic success stories to attend this renowned event to meet - with you!
I'm fortunate to be able to say that there are no other events like this one anywhere on the planet. It gives me great joy to be able to say that this event has become the "signature" event for the North American publishing industry for speakers, experts and authors.
Even the experts look forward to this event, because they know the caliber of authors who attend and the quality of the deals they will have the opportunity to make with people just like you!
My Success Isn't What Matters!
The number of books I've sold together with my various partners and co-authors isn't really what matters when it comes to teaching you how to be successful
as an author.
When it comes right down to it, the only success that matters is the success of the graduates of MEGA Book Marketing University!
Recent grads have gone on to write and publish New York Times Best Sellers!
They've also been featured on CNN, The Home Shopping Network, The Today Show, and even The Oprah Winfrey Show.
They've become international speakers, best-selling authors, successful information entrepreneurs, and top-paid publishing pros.
There's no doubt about it: Attending MEGA Book Marketing University is like getting an advanced degree in the art of writing, publishing, promoting, and profiting from your books. in ways that make "ordinary" writers, agents, publishers and publicists look like rank amateurs.

In short: whether you've published a lot of books already, or haven't even written your first one yet, MEGA Book Marketing University will teach you how to write, publish, and sell more books.
The tactics you're going to learn at this three-day event will work for anyone - whether you're an unknown trying to break out of the pack, or an experienced author who wants to give your career new life.
Do you think that after selling over 100 million copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul, I'm able to get the attention of all the top experts in the publishing industry?

Meet Some of Your MEGA Book Marketing University Faculty
Who’ve Already Created Millions in Revenue
For Authors Just Like You
Each of these amazing faculty members will be delivering specific content that will focus your efforts on the actions that will drive your writing, your book, and your career. Meet the faculty:
Powerful Publishers, Industry Insiders & MEGA Book Marketing Mavens are FLOCKING to Los Angeles.
Specifically To Meet With You!
I'm calling in every favor that is owed to me in order to get the very best advisors, agents and experts I know to throw aside the veil of secrecy and reveal special "insider knowledge" of the publishing industry for you.
If you've ever wondered how to get your book idea in front of the right people - the people with the power to say "Yes!" to your idea - at the right time, when their minds are open and they are LOOKING for opportunities, then you've just found your answer!
Now let me be crystal clear on two very important things.
First, the experts who will be attending are NOT publishing "wannabes".
They are the experts and professionals who are working in the industry today, creating millions of dollars in revenue for speakers and authors just like me, my co-authors and the past graduates of MEGA Book Marketing University.
These are the same people I've been working with for the past 12 years.
If I can trust them with my work, I know you can trust them with yours as well.
Second, MEGA Book Marketing University is NOT for everyone.
I'm sorry if that statement disappoints you, but I feel I must be completely honest with you here. You see, success in the book publishing industry is just like success in any area of life in at least one respect.
Only people willing to take action will be successful.
It is not enough to sit in the audience, absorb the information from my expert faculty and never apply what you learn in real life. You must take action with what you learn in order to be successful!
If you are not action-oriented, then I you shouldn't attend MEGA Book Marketing University 2008. But, if you are committed to applying what you learn, then you can be one of next years success stories!
Fortunately, we include very specific "action strategies" so that you can create a plan and focus only on the very next thing you must do in order become the next best-selling author.

You can imagine that I've got an impressive publishing industry Rolodex - that's how I manage to get the very top publishing powerbrokers, executives, and VIP's
to join us.
These are not people you're likely to see at any other event. They avoid the spotlight. They typically are not accessible. They agreed to come to MEGA Book Marketing University 2008 because they know we launch future best-sellers.
Most of these people are flying in to MEGA Book for only one reason: to meet authors and make deals. You may never again have an opportunity to be "discovered" like this, in a room full of people who want to talk to you about
your book!
This is your chance to talk one-on-one with the experts about topics like:
- How to really make money while you sleep; internet affiliate deals for your books and products.
- What makes a book proposal or manuscript stand out and get read?
- The inside tactics of getting endorsements and endorsed marketing deals.
- What publishers and agents wish every author knew; and why knowing it can turn your career around.
- The truth about publishing contracts; what to look for and what to avoid.
- What "joint ventures" are, and how to put them together like a pro.
- The realities of how a best-seller is made (and yes, they are "made").
- The tried and true methods of getting articles and features done about you in big-name publications.
- How to find and make the most of publicity opportunities.
- How to tap into the little-known (at least for most authors) world of
corporate co-ventures. - The most common mistakes made by new authors, and how you can avoid them (are you making any of them now?).
- Licensing arrangements: what they are and what they can mean to your career (and your income!).
- Why (and how) distribution deals can "make or break" your book project.
- How to make special sales into non-traditional markets.
Be prepared for this golden opportunity to network with all of our experts - come to MEGA Book Marketing University ready to make the most of meetings with agents and publishers during meals, breaks, at the end of the conference each day. even a chance meeting in elevators.
That way when opportunity presents itself, you'll be ready to take advantage
of it.

If you have a book already, and you just need a chance to pitch it to someone. your ship may have just come in! I urge you to take advantage of the most exciting features of our three-day event.
This alone may land you a lucrative publishing deal.
PITCH SLAM!
Your Opportunity to Pitch Your Book Idea Face-To-Face With Top Agents And Publishers!
Pitch Your Book to Top Publishing Executives and Agents
Saturday, March 1st | Morning Session - Time TBA
Sunday, March 2nd | Morning Session - Time TBA
I've set up two dazzling 90-minute "lightning round" meetings. These are short, "meet 'n pitch" sessions with one or more of the dozens of agents and publishers who are attending MEGA Book Marketing specifically to find new best-selling talent.
We have only limited time, so the number of attendees who participate in these "intense pitch sessions" must be limited.
There are only 80 appointments available, and we'll give them out in a random lottery at the event.
We'll be conducting a lottery at the conference for spaces at each of these "meet 'n pitch" sessions with the publishers or agents you most want to meet.
It's important to realize that the publishers and agents we're bringing in for the event will be there all weekend long. Getting one of these formal sessions is a great stroke of luck - but not the only way you can meet with them. They'll be at our luncheons and attending the sessions right along with you. And we have them wearing special badges so you can instantly know who they are.
My recommendation is: come prepared to pitch your book at the drop of a hat!
Don't worry if you don't yet know how to do this; we're going to give you additional help and get you totally prepared so that your pitch is perfect, and it's ready to go when you have your meetings.
And that means the formal meetings, and the informal ones too - even if they happen in an elevator.
Develop A "Million Dollar Rolodex" Of Your Own
I can't be any more up-front with you than this: one of the most valuable features of any event I host is the opportunity to network.
Using the contacts in my own "million dollar rolodex", I have the best and the brightest in the industry showing up at this event, and just about everyone who shows up is of a similar mindset. It's up to you to walk out of the door of the conference room with the deals, the new friendships, and the powerful connections that can turn your life around.
And I'm doing everything in my power to make this super-easy for you!
For just an additional $100, you'll have a seat reserved at each of our three networking-intensive lunches.
These luncheons are your opportunity to literally "break bread" with, and make connections with, the hundreds of other attendees, the agents, authors, and publishers who attend this event.
Past graduates of my MEGA events have told me over and over again that these networking luncheons alone are worth the price of admission, and that the sessions are an added bonus.
Limited Number of VIP Tickets Give You Exclusive
Access to Faculty Members
Networking in a crowd of 500 people can be difficult - especially when you know who you want to meet, but you just can't locate them in the crowd.
That's why I always invite my faculty members and other top experts to join me and a select group of VIP attendees in my private dining room.
This may be your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect directly with a top book publishing or marketing pro who has the knowledge, connections and power to turn your book into a best-seller. So pepper the experts with questions. Get their advice. And learn from the stories they tell.
To sweeten the deal, those with VIP tickets will be allowed into the conference before general admittance. That means preferred seating and interaction with the top movers and shakers of Mega Book Marketing University.

The Difference Between Success And Failure
Lies With You.
I know what it can be like leaving a conference such as this one.
You're so excited, mind full of ideas and loaded with new information. You get home from the conference and have so many things going on that you don't even know where to start.
I call it "idea overwhelm" and while what you do to create your own success after leaving MEGA Book Marketing University is completely up to you, I am committed to giving you as many tools as possible from my personal arsenal of success strategies.
I've set up a plan that will have you walking out of our conference with a step-by-step blueprint battle plan.so you can get started with your new (or newly revived) publishing career the very first day you get back.
We're going to wrap up the 2008 MEGA Book Marketing weekend with two sessions guaranteed to motivate you, inspire you, and empower you to get your plan going!
Our last two sessions will give you all this and more.
- "Where to Start Monday Morning?" After you've soaked up our three days worth of insights, ideas, strategies and tactics for putting your book marketing on the fast-track, you might be thinking, "Where do I start?" It's a
natural question.
So in this action-oriented session, we will help you sort through your notebook of ideas and pick the ones that deserve priority attention. In less than an hour, we'll help you map out a plan for implementing the wealth of knowledge you gain at Mega Book Marketing University . so you know without a doubt what to do as soon as you get home.

I will personally get you on your feet and deliver a final dose of rocket fuel to get your new marketing program off to a roaring start. You'll see that where you're going matters more than what you haven't done, haven't got, haven't said or haven't been.

I am not a mind-reader, but I can almost hear the question you're asking yourself right about now.
How Much Does All This Cost?
It's completely natural to wonder what number is written on the price tag.
It all sounds fantastic, but you wonder if you can afford it. I'm almost certain that you can, but before I tell you the price, I'd like you to think about this.
If you choose not to attend this year's MEGA Book Marketing University you won't get access my "who's who" list of publishers, agents and literary experts who are dedicating this weekend specifically to teach you everything they know about this lucrative business.
Plus, you'll miss out on the networking opportunities where you can connect with the experts who will be appearing on stage as well as the industry insiders who attend just looking for the next great author.
Not to mention the great contacts you will make with the people sitting in the seminar room with you!
If you choose not to attend, how will you make all these high-level contacts?
Sure, you could pay some of the experts for their time directly, but many of them are not available for that kind of one-on-one consulting. And even if they were, it would cost you a small fortune to get that kind of intimate access to them. These experts regularly work on million dollar deals, so you can imagine how much their time is worth!
Consider what it costs to bring all these powerbrokers, dealmakers, and experts together in one place for three days. It's easy to see that I could easily ask $5,000 per seat and still sell the event out.
There simply is no other event with a lineup like this, or with as many information-packed sessions.
Each time I conduct one of these MEGA Book Marketing University weekends, I get overwhelmingly positive feedback from those who attended - and I enjoy seeing attendees become best-selling authors and six-figure earners.
While I could indeed charge $5,000 per seat - and I'm convinced I could fill up the house at that price - I feel that I am on a mission. And that mission is to bring you the very best teachers, experts, book marketing strategies and ideas for the lowest possible investment from you.
I truly want this conference to be available to any author who wants to learn how to break though and become successful.
The world of publishing is complex; you need a guide (or better yet, guides) who can show you the proven ways to succeed. That's what MEGA Book Marketing University is all about.
That's why instead of asking $5,000 for a ticket to the event.
I've locked your investment in at just $1,295.
