Meet the PublishDrive Team at This Year’s Writing Conferences!

Writing conferences are essential to your career as an author: you can attend informative presentations, connect with like-minded authors, and establish important connections that may boost your career down the line. Our team is lucky enough to travel to writers conferences around the world every year, and we’ve seen first-hand how authors benefit from these events.

Do you have any writing conferences planned this year? We just finalized our schedule for part of 2019, and we’d love to meet you in person! Chatting with PublishDrive authors is one of our favorite things about attending conferences.
