Sponsorship Opportunities
Fiction Marketing Academy is a virtual conference bringing together authors and book-marketing experts to discuss the best and most up-to-date ways of marketing works of fiction.
We were the first conference of this kind in 2020.
In 2023, we are going to reinvent the way virtual events for authors are run.
Looking for writers? We'll send them your way!
Despite its many “competitors”, this is still the #1 event in the space and never fails to deliver for the audience, speakers and sponsors.
Fiction Marketing Academy is meant to educate beginner, intermediate and more advanced fiction writers. During the five days this event is running, the sessions are presented in a schedule that’s easy to follow. Attendees can binge-watch, or decide to pick their favorite sessions so that they are able to choose what is relevant for them at the stage they’re at in their author-career.
How it Works
For this conference, we are going to completely reshape the 'online summit' model.
The core will still be 100% focused on value, with interviews and presentations with 30+ among the most successful authors and industry-leading book-marketing experts. These sessions will be presented in the following formats:
- Pre-recorded interviews
- Live presentations
- Live group discussions in a panel format
BUT...
While everyone else would then 'gate' the content after 24-48 hours and sell attendees a Premium Pass
Our content will be 100% FREE FOREVER on YOUTUBE.
This will allow us to:
✅ Provide even more value at no cost whatsoever.
✅ Continue to give exposure to the speakers and sponsors long before the event has ended.
✅ Continue to engage with the audience via our newsletter, communities, etc.
... But how will the event make money?
Glad you asked.
Attendees who want to, will be able to purchase a 'bundle' of exclusive content. We are still working on this, but we are planning on making this an exceptional resource. We will include templates, exclusive interviews, behind the scenes material, etc.
