Have you ever wondered what it's like to work with a major publisher? Would you like to know how people in the media spotlight prepare for a national interview? You'll get answers to those questions and more when bestselling author Will Bowen makes a rare visit to St. Louis. Will Bowen has had an amazing journey as an author. It all started in a surprising manner just a few short years ago. He was inspired to give away "no complaint" wristbands to his congregants when he served as a minister of a Unity church in Kansas City. It was a way to remind people to stop focusing so much on what's wrong and redirect their thoughts to the positive.
The idea caught on in a big way and before long the local press covered it. This led to media exposure in other cities and eventually Will was invited to appear on Oprah, The Today Show, People magazine, and more. This major media exposure led to lots of interest from book publishers, which compelled Will to hire an agent to negotiate the ensuing bidding war. His first book, A Complaint Free World, has become an international bestseller. His other books include Complaint Free Relationships and the new Happy This Year! He also struck a publishing deal with a new Amazon imprint and will be the first author to serialize a nonfiction Kindle ebook. Join us June 12 as Will Bowen shares his colorful publishing journey and answers your questions about working with agents and major publishers, lessons learned from mass media exposure, how much work an author has to do when supported by a traditional publisher, and more.
