Who are the professionals you get to work with?
The Next Bestseller™ Workshop provides access to seasoned industry experts who will train you to pitch your project and how to fashion your hooks to engage the attention of the decision makers.
The Next Bestseller™ Workshop was created as a response to something that is missing in the vast publishing and entertainment industry conferences, festivals, seminars, trainings and resources we're all providing. It is something that has been repeated over and over again by agents, producers and publishers and reiterated by professionals across the book and entertainment industries.
The time has come to provide a specific resource that is focused on training writers to present their projects properly and professionally to the decision makers so everyone can succeed.
Agents, publishers and producers are still hungry for good books, scripts and screenplays to publish, sell and produce. Writers want to get published with their carefully crafted books that they've spent quality time writing. Similarly, screen/script writers want to have their works produced.
If the only thing standing between you and the agents, publishers and producers who want your book or project is your pitch and presentation, doesn't it make sense then that we as professionals can help you gain a tremendous advantage by perfecting your pitch and presentation with us during The Next Bestseller™ Workshop?
“I'm excited to invite you to attend The Next Bestseller™ Workshop. It's your unique opportunity to see the power of what this event can really do for your book or project, and in turn, for your life. The professionals I've asked to join me are busy with their businesses of selling and promoting books, films, tv or theater shows. I've asked them to take time out to work directly with you on your pitch and the presentation of your book or project during The Next Bestseller™ weekend. Through the incredible access and powerful teaching it offers, there's no other workshop quite like it!”
