\"author<\/a>When I attended Judith Briles’ Author U<\/a>\u00a0last year as a presenter who taught authors how to use social media to promote their books, I practically filled a notebook while seated in the audience listening to the other speakers. It was a lineup of the best of the best in the publishing industry.<\/p>\n

This year promises to be no different. If you’ve written a book, you’re in the process of “birthing” one, or you’re just thinking of writing one, Denver is the place to be May 3-5. \u00a0Briles puts on one heck of a conference.<\/p>\n

Here’s the lineup:<\/p>\n

Florrie Binford Kichler<\/strong> will forecast what’s happening in the indie world.<\/p>\n

Publicity expert Steve Harrison, <\/strong>who hosts the National Publicity Summit and\u00a0the Quantum Publicity workshops, will explain how to get every producer to call you.<\/p>\n

Brian <\/strong>Jud <\/strong>will speak on how to market fiction, from craft fairs to summer festivals.<\/p>\n

Social networking expert Georgia McCabe <\/strong>will give dozens of tips for\u00a0promoting your book in social media.<\/p>\n

Marty Dickinson<\/strong> will show you how to take your book to the next level with Google+.<\/p>\n

Mobile marketing expert Mary Barnett<\/strong> will help you create a marketing platform with your phone.<\/p>\n

Nick Zelinger<\/strong> will show you the latest trends in book design.<\/p>\n

Dan Pacheco <\/strong>will share the inside secrets of why\u00a0the Huffington Post and the local Denver Post are selling gazillions of books and how you can immediately implement their techniques.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Janita Cooper <\/strong>will show you how to create audio and video from your books, and snazzy book trailers too!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniel Hall,<\/strong> the master of all things Kindle, will show you how to do it yourself whether you want to create an ebook from scratch, or convert a printed book.<\/p>\n

Here are five more reasons you should consider attending:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0All three days are packed with solid content.<\/strong> This is not a pitch fest.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0They feed you. <\/strong>You get a\u00a0continental breakfast and lunch Friday and Saturday, dinner Friday night, and dinner on Thursday for those who sign up for the special John Kremer dinner workshop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0You’ll find convenient electrical outlets at all the tables.<\/strong> So leave your 25-foot extension cord at home.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0Wifi is free.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0It’s well-organized.<\/strong> Briles didn’t miss one little detail last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
