Welcome back to the #SelfPubCon blog and to our very first speaker reveal for the fall #SelfPubCon in association with DBW. If you missed the DBW news, then hop over to our last blog to find out more.

First up, here is speaker reveal number 1:

Will Dages

Will is Head of Findaway Voices and an avid audiobook listener. He’s been immersed in the audiobook industry for more than 7 years, working on everything from technology to marketing to product development. He loves helping authors create and sell audiobooks, and believes in the power authors have to change the audiobook industry.

But what's Will going to talk about I hear you ask. Let me tell you. I am so excited for his presentation I can't wait to learn more about how to sell more audiobooks.

Will's session is called: How to Sell More Audiobooks

At the end of this session you’ll:

• Understand key marketing channels and tactics for audiobooks.
• Know where the biggest growth in the industry is coming from, and where to focus your marketing efforts.
• Plus, see how the team behind BookBub is tackling daily deals on their new audiobook platform, Chirp.

With an ever growing marketing, audiobooks should be an integral part of your indie business. Will Dages is here to show you how to sell more audiobooks.

Next speaker reveal is:

Cara Stein

Here's a little bit about Cara:

Cara Stein is an idealist who has stopped trying to play it cool. She believes the only reason people don’t like business or marketing is that they don’t know how to do it well—yet. She’s often praised for her no-bullshit style and her wry humor.Cara has been helping people finish and publish their books since 2012. She’s guided over 200 books through the publishing process. She’s also the author of five books of her own. Her peeves include chipmunks, fakery, and the word “peeve.”

Cara's session is called: How to Structure Your Nonfiction Book to Grow Your Audience

For non-fiction writers, publishing a bestselling book is the best way to become recognized as THE expert on your topic. But that only works if the book connects with the right people, showcases your expertise, and sells. In Cara’s session, she’ll discuss how to plan and structure your book to be irresistible to your ideal readers, make a connection with them, and motivate them to join your mailing list so you’ll have even more buyers for your next book.
