About Author Capital
the start of an online writing conference
The Problem
One of the best parts of being a writer is the community but, between your work and home life, clearing your schedule for a week-long conference isn't always realistic.
How Author Capital is Different
We wanted to build a writing conference around you - the writer. No more shelling out money, juggling travel itineraries, or missing events because of last-minute conflicts. Author Capital is here when you need it, so you'll never miss an event again.
