Complimentary Ask-a-Pro Consultation
These popular one-on-one consultations are offered with publishing industry experts, including literary agents, book coaches, marketing experts, and more. Consultations are 15-minutes each and delivered by phone or Skype during the week of NFWC. Gold, Platinum, and VIP attendees can register for up to three consults with the pros you choose. (Sorry, Live Access attendees are not eligible.) Registration for Ask-a-Pro is announced four to six weeks prior to the conference. Register for NFWC early for first access since these sessions fill up fast. Many of our attendees feel these consults are worth the pricing of admission alone!

NFWC attendees are invited to join a private Facebook group so you can connect with fellow writers. Also, NFWC is hosted by the Nonfiction Authors Association, a supportive tribe for writers. NFAA has a wide variety of benefits including media leads, fresh content each week, access to event recordings, partner discounts with sponsors like Lulu.com, and much more.
Featured Presentations and Speakers for NFWC 2020
The Nonfiction Writers Conference has a long history of welcoming top-quality speakers who deliver content-rich presentations. NFWC is low on hype and high on value, which means our speakers are carefully chosen based on a proven track record for delivering compelling, authentic, value-packed presentations.

We are excited to welcome opening speaker Sheri Salata, an author, podcaster, and former Executive Producer for Oprah. Sheri is the author of The Beautiful No, a gripping memoir about how she bid farewell to her 20+ year career at Harpo to reinvent herself personally and professionally. It’s an inspiring story that will resonate with anyone who has ever wanted to make a major life change. She will share details about her own reinvention and tips so you can do the same.

How the Nonfiction Writers Conference began.
After speaking at many writers’ conferences and events over the years, Stephanie Chandler grew frustrated by the lack of attention paid to nonfiction writers. In 2010, she launched the first Nonfiction Writers Conference event, conducted entirely by teleseminar. She had no idea if anyone would attend, but they did! And they loved the online format.
Since that first event, we’ve hosted over 100 amazing speakers and thousands of attendees, and have evolved the conference format to webinar, which brings a lively video element that makes attendees feel like the speakers are talking to them directly.
We want to thank NFWC attendees for asking each year how to keep in touch when the conference was over. Your inquiries led to the introduction of the Nonfiction Authors Association in 2013. This vibrant community has grown to over 14,000 members around the world.
Membership benefits include weekly media leads, exclusive templates, checklists and other content, a private Facebook group, recordings from our weekly teleseminars, and member discounts with partners including Lulu.com, Office Depot, Findaway Voices and more. NFAA also hosts a year-round book awards program, online courses, and provide many other resources for nonfiction writers.
Because we’re celebrating our ten-year anniversary, the 2020 conference is an extra special event and we are working hard to make it one you’ll never forget!
Our mission from the beginning has been to take the traditional writers’ conference experience and deliver it online. This allows more people to attend from around the world, saving time and money on travel expenses. We’ve also celebrated alongside many of our attendees and community members who’ve gone on to launch books into the world, conduct successful marketing campaigns, built lucrative revenue streams, become professional speakers, and much more.

Feedback from past conferences
“I just joined the Nonfiction Authors Association and attended my first conference. I received so much valuable information and I’m so excited to apply what I’ve learned. THANK YOU!”
“The presentations were packed full of practical, monetizable writing ideas and “maps.” My eyes were opened to new worlds of online writing publications and resources that I’m confident will increase my income. The Ask-a-Pro sessions were worth the cost of admission alone! I received high-level, actionable feedback and advice for my books, speaking engagements, online courses, and website. The Nonfiction Writers Conference has set my writing business on a new trajectory!”
“NFWC 2019 was AWESOME! The conference was full of great information for new and experienced author alike. Speakers were very well prepared and quite engaging. The webinar format was warm and seamless. Such great insight and motivation. I can’t wait for NFWC 2020!”
“I attended the annual NFWC and was my first introduction to them. I have to say, I was blown away!! The content was incredible class after class. I couldn’t believe all of the value I gained… I’ve paid far more for far less! I signed up to be a member immediately so I can stay plugged into this awesome community.”
“NFWC is the best investment I make each year in my nonfiction author career. The caliber and accessibility of the presenters is unusually high, the topics well chosen and diverse, and I can honestly say that at least half of the presentations would have been worth the cost of the whole conference alone.”
“Where else can you gain so much valuable information in so little time? I’ve attended Non-Fiction Writers Conference three years running and it has been well worth my time every year.”
“Wow! So much detailed, truly helpful information from a variety of sources. It’s hard to imagine [what an online conference will be like] before it is experienced.”
“Conference organizers created a practical, diverse, and excellent experience. Extremely helpful. Will be back every year!”
“I greatly enjoyed and learned a lot from attending my first Nonfiction Writers Conference. It was very convenient to have a webinar format (with recordings of sessions for those I missed joining live). I found many topics of interest in the presentations, and the speakers all provided very helpful information. I plan to attend again. Many thanks to the organizers!”
If you want to write, publish, promote, and profit with nonfiction books, don’t miss this career-changing event.
