Author Business Summit 2026
Thank you for your interest in the Author Business Summit 2026! Below you will find answers to the most common questions regarding event logistics, platforms, speakers, and ticket policies.
1. Is this a virtual event?
Yes, absolutely. The Author Business Summit 2026 is primarily a virtual experience designed to be attended right from your computer, laptop, or mobile device. You can join us live from anywhere in the world!
Note: While the vast majority of our attendees join virtually, there is a strictly limited, exclusive In-Person Ticket option capped at just 49 seats for those looking for live networking and mastermind sessions.
2. Will this event be on Facebook, or will it take place on some other platform, like Zoom?
The main summit sessions and live coaching will take place on a dedicated virtual event platform (such as Zoom or a similar streaming platform); the exact login links and platform details will be emailed to all registrants closer to the event date.
However, we do have a private Event Facebook Group explicitly set up for all attendees to network, ask questions, and discuss their book businesses before, during, and after the event.
Speakers & Content
3. Do we have a list of the books the speakers have written?
We intentionally keep our speaker line-up details and their specific book lists under wraps—we love a good surprise! Rest assured, we are gathering an incredible group of top-tier industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and successful authors. You will get an immense amount of value, practical strategies, and inspiration out of their sessions to help build an ecosystem around your message, regardless of your specific genre.
Ticket Policies & Changes
4. If I can't attend, can I transfer my ticket to someone else?
Tickets are strictly non-transferable to other individuals. Anyone wishing to attend will need to purchase their own ticket.
If you are a VIP or In-Person ticket holder and simply can't make a live session, remember that your ticket automatically includes full event recordings so you can catch up on your own schedule.
5. Can I use this event ticket for a different event that happens later in the year?
Yes! If you are unable to attend the Author Business Summit, your ticket can be rolled over and used for our upcoming Full Time Fiction Live event later this year.
6. Can I upgrade my ticket to a VIP or In-Person experience?
Yes, absolutely! If you would like to upgrade your ticket to access additional perks or secure one of our limited in-person seats, you can do so in one of two ways:
- Book a Call: Schedule a quick call with me directly to discuss ticket options.
- Email Us: Send an email to support@selfpublishing.com with the subject line "upgrade my ticket", and our team will get you squared away.
⚠️ Note: In-Person tickets are strictly capped at 49 seats, so we recommend reaching out as early as possible if you want to upgrade to the live mastermind experience!
