"But, Joylynn, aren't you afraid to teach people everything you know? That's your intellectual property!"

Joylynn's reply: "Absolutely not, and neither am I afraid to charge for it. Especially because I KNOW it's going to accelerate and catapult the career and business of my fellow writers, authors, and publishers. They are going to get their return on investment and then some . . . because I'm going to teach them how to create, monetize, and value their own IP as well!"

This is not a conference with different topics and breakout sessions . . . where you have to take a bunch of crumbs, try to put them together to form a full loaf of bread, and hope and pray you end up with every step of the publishing process. Over two days, you will receive the full loaf on a silver platter!

This conference is laser focused on publishing only! You will be a professional publisher after attending this conference. So, register now at pathtopublishing.com/conference before all 100 seats are taken!
