Aspiring Authors
UPDATE JULY 9, 2023: At this time we no long have convention tickets available for purchase. However, if you have already purchased your convention ticket or are on a payment plan for a convention ticket, you can still take advantage of the ticketed event options below.
*****
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
Your convention pass of $375 includes all non-ticketed events, parties, signings, aspiring authors programs. That’s right! We are approaching our program differently than most events. You don’t have to pay an extra fee for our aspiring author or author development program. This means all trainings, agent panels, editor panels, and author events and panels.

Our editors and Agents attending as of now - to be updated with more names soon!
