Free Workshop & Awards Celebration

Free and open to the public

Join us for a workshop designed to help authors take their books to the next level. We'll present more awards and announce the Top 10 Authors of the Year.

Every author attending on Saturday will receive an Author Allstars Certificate and pin. Friday ticket holders already have Saturday VIP access, including the special VIP session with food served.

Saturday Special Author Allstar Award · $10

If you're receiving a Special Author Allstar Award on Saturday, select the $10 award option during registration. This fee helps cover the cost of preparing your award in advance, even if your plans change and you're unable to attend.

The award fee is kept separate from event admission. Saturday general admission is free, and the certificate and pin are included for attending authors. The $10 option is shown only to Saturday specialty award recipients — including recipients who are purchasing Friday VIP access.
