Since the inaugural year of the conference back in 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Joylynn added so much information and resources to the conference curriculum, a single day is no longer enough time to cover the Day 1 content. So, we've now had to break it up into two separate days.


Day 1 Saturday, December 6, 2025 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. - with an hour break from noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific) will cover the first 3 main aspects of publishing: Writing, Editing, Design.


Day 2 Sunday, December 7, 2025 (9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. - with an hour break from noon to 1:00 p.m. Pacific) will cover the next 3 main aspects of publishing: Process, Marketing & Promotions, Selling.

Even if you've attended the conference in past years, because the publishing industry is ever-changing, we guarantee you will pick up new gems, jewels, and nuggets that will help you achieve your measure of writing, literary, and publishing success. And with your conference registration including the hardcopy format of the Beyond the Basics of Publishing curriculum, you can make sure you have the latest information to help you master the publishing process. The hardcopy curriculum alone is a $147 value!


The total cost of this live virtual conference (hardcopy curriculum included) is $499 and will take place on Zoom. This is no fluff, bells, whistles, vendors, sponsors, agent pitches, readings, critiques, bookstore sales, and all those other commercials and distractions most writing, author, and publishing conferences offer. This is MBA Degree style learning for those serious about making publishing a business . . . not just a hobby . . . and not just a way to "get their book out there."


Whether you're new to this publishing world or you've been in it for some time but still haven't quite achieved your measure of success or some of your literary and book business goals, this conference is for you. Because if you're the latter, what's keeping you from achieving your publishing goals is more than likely the steps you missed along your journey. Or the steps you simply don’t know you should be taking. Steps I'm going to cover over these two days.


As a bonus, there will be a live Q & A at the end of each conference day for those who want to hang around to ask questions customized and specific to their needs. The Q & A runs until all your questions have been answered. This means that you don't leave this conference without getting exactly what you came for.

Consider the bonus Q & A as a mini literary consulting session, which that alone is a $650 value. You can visit the Path To Publishing website and you'll see that is Joylynn's hourly literary consulting and publishing coaching rate. The value and benefits of the conference far exceeds the $499 investment.
