Aspiring Authors
At Readers Take Denver we want to get back to the old school way of supporting authors at every level of their career and regardless of your publishing format. That means workshops that help you go to the next level - be that to find an agent, write a synopsis, determine what publishers match your writing style and format, what indie format to publish in for success, publicity, contracts, and so much more.
A full agenda with speakers will be announced soon but will include agents, editors, bestselling authors, booktok influencers and publishing professionals.
Pricing Information
