Infinity Publishing’s 11th Annual Express Yourself…™
Gathering of Authors
Friday, September 24 - Sunday, September 26, 2010

The Radisson Hotel at Valley Forge, PA

The New Book in the Brave New World of Book Publishing Where Content is King and the Author Controls the Content!!!

Book futurist Dan Poynter and content expansionist Marc Schulman will be keynoters at Infinity’s 2010 Gathering of Authors at Valley Forge, PA, the last weekend in September. The author’s created content is what makes the publishing world go round and earn profits; but what can be done with the content is creating new opportunities for authors and bones of contention for some publishers, distributors and booksellers, as their roles in the publishing industry continue to drastically change.

We have two leading experts sharing their viewpoints on this timely topic at our 11th Authors’ Conference. They will explain how you, the author of content, will be able to benefit financially from these turbulent times in the new world of book publishing.

At the Friday evening banquet Dan Poynter will foretell more about the expanding role of the new multidimensional book model and the effects of its dynamic changes sweeping the book publishing industry. He will explain how authors can make the most of social media networks such as FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc., to help spread the electronic words about their books throughout the vastness of the Internet. Dan is an internationally acclaimed expert on the publishing industry. He travels around the world several times each year for speaking engagements, advocating the need for folks to get the book inside them written and published before they die. Dan is the author of over 123 books and is a regular presenter at our annual conference. You don’t want to miss his futuristic reflections on the changing face of global publishing, as Dan Poynter sees it, and how the changes will impact you and your book.

Marc Schulman will be the Saturday evening banquet keynoter. Over a decade ago, Marc was one of the first pioneering authors to incorporate multimedia into his book’s CDs to provide his readers with a more expanded experience, while learning about world history. He has developed dozens of application downloads (apps) for handheld electronic devices such as the iPad and iPhone. He foresees the rapid demise of the brick and mortar chain bookstores in the near future. Entombing books on chain store bookshelves will cease as more book purchases take place on the Internet for both pBooks and eBooks – increasingly the “e” in eBooks is not only for electronic, but also for enhancements authors can now include in their eBooks. Content is the kingpin in this brave new world of publishing, and Marc will address both sides of the content issue, with specific focus on how authors can benefit during these changing times.

Both of our keynoters, along with all of our presenters, will be available throughout the weekend at the Radisson to meet with and talk informally with all of the conference participants. There’s never an additional charge for meeting with any of the experts presenting at the conference – the registration fee of $695 covers all regular conference activities, including meals and 2 nights’ lodging at the Radisson.
