More testimonials...

I've waited two years to discover a program so complete that it blows the competition away. Not only was the seminar filled with better than broadway entertainment with presenters that were the creme de la creme, but the information was invaluable to launch any attendee with the tools for success. This seminar is a must for anyone desiring to achieve success.

- Jilliana Raymond  


Just came back from the publishing seminar. It was great to be there. Thank you to all for the super content and presentation. This was the best seminar I ever went to!

- Robert Merin


I learned so much at Author 101. Thank you. But most importantly, I made friendships and felt a part of a group that will be a two-way blessing for years to come, I believe.

- Karey


Just wanted to say how amazing the Author 101 conference was. I flew from Dubai just to be a part of this and it exceeded all of my expectations.

On top of the fantastic networking opportunity there was a wealth of knowledge passed on that was beyond any price paid to attend this event.

I really cannot say enough about what I learned and took away from this experience. I have already begun motivating people around me who have thought about writing or who I know that has a marketable story to tell.

- Jayme Harris


Rarely have I found such bang for the buck. If I had left at noon on the first day, I already would have gotten my money's worth and then some.

- Dick Methia


I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how welcome you made my wife Sandy and I feel at Author 101 at the Westin in Los Angeles. L.A.'s my home town and I felt like we were visiting an old friend who just happened to have the best speakers and motivators in the business in his living room.

You and OUR associates do a wonderful job and it is splendid to be working with you as an author with Morgan James Publishing. I can't wait until we publish my book "Drunk and Disorderly, Again My Name is Hoot, I'm an Alcoholic," to utilize some of the many techniques and shortcuts we learned over the course of the day.

-Hoot


Dynamic speakers. Amazing people. Invaluable information. Words cannot totally define the 'magic' of this event ... It was beyond magical.

The event opened me to a world filled with so much positive energy, brilliant minds and TRUTHFUL information.

It was by far the most valuable seminar I have ever been to and worth its price a million times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My life has been changed forever.

- Nancy Hayssen


Thank you for a fantastic event.

Author 101 delivered on its promise. I didn’t just learn what it takes to succeed as an author, I got the insider’s look at how to execute a publicity strategy, get on top radio shows and build powerful relationships with corporations and non-profits.  

I feel privileged to have this information and be connected to those that have the secrets to reaching millions of people and making millions of dollars doing it. I am also in awe of the way the material was presented and given from the heart of your speakers and yourself. This wasn’t just a conference; it was an invitation to be part of a network of givers and receivers. Thanks for giving so much of yourself and bringing such a fantastic slate of speakers into one jam-packed event.

- Alice


The workshop was wonderful. There was so much information that I'd never heard anywhere before. I've always been afraid of the business side of writing; I wish I could just write. But this workshop gave me loads of actions I can run with to market my writing. The people were great too. It was worth getting up at four in the morning, returning at 12:30 at night, and driving three hours each way. I'm still excited about it.

Meet Your Presenters...

Mark Victor Hansen, Master of Ceremony and Mega-Best Selling Author

Mark Victor Hansen

Worldwide name recognition. International speaking engagements. A constant shower of accolades from celebrities and millions of fans worldwide. The resources to lead a life devoted to philanthropy and goodwill. It's the fairy-tale life of a wildly successful best-selling author, Mark Victor Hansen—and he'll show you how to achieve, starting from scratch, just like he did.

Just 20 years ago, Mark was bankrupt from a failed business. With no money and even fewer resources, he found the determination and energy to create the king of all publishing empires most people only dream about. As an unknown speaker and author, his first book, Stand Up, Speak Out & Win, sold 20,000 copies in just 12 months. And his first best-selling series, Chicken Soup for the Soul, has now sold more than 100 million copies in 39 languages worldwide.

He, along with his co-author Jack Canfield, have also licensed more than 100 audio books, derivative products and retail merchandise items in just the past decade alone.

His tremendous success is due to one of the publishing industry's most unique business models—combining powerful book marketing strategies, lucrative licensing systems, popular seminar programs and a speaking calendar that's virtually unrivaled anywhere in the information industry.

Now, in this fascinating and powerfully inspiring opening session, Mark gives you the formula and inspiration to accomplish all he has and more. You'll get an insider look at the nuts and bolts of launching a successful career as an author. Also, you'll hear from other authors who have followed—and profited from—Mark's advice. Mark will expand your vision of how large of a worldwide information empire you could build starting with your very first book.
