Novel Marketing Conference 2027

The conference takes place at Fickett Center in Austin, Texas.

The listed audiences include novelists, children's authors, and traditional authors.

It is most useful for self-published and independent novelists who want a concrete book marketing plan, since the program is built around selling more books and attendees are promised a written plan, with Thomas Umstattd Jr. among the speakers. Authors still drafting a first manuscript or those with a publisher handling all marketing will get less from it, since the content is aimed at authors who do their own promotion.

Author and writer conferences are typically casual to business casual, with jeans and a nice top or jacket common. Austin in January is mild but can turn cool, so a light layer is practical.
