Description

Charlotte Area Chamber Authors' Expo

Celebrate the authors in our Chamber community—and discover the ideas, expertise, and stories they have to share.

Are you a published author and a member of the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce?

You’re invited to participate in our First Annual Authors' Expo, an inaugural event designed by the Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce and their Programs Committee, featuring Fabi Preslar, Founder and President of SPARK Publications, for Should You Publish That Book? (And If So, How?) as the speaker.

This expo is designed to help aspiring authors determine whether publishing aligns with their personal and business goals, plus spotlight the knowledge and expertise of authors within our chamber community. At the expo, Fabi will share practical guidance on choosing the right type of book, understanding the time and financial commitment, and using a book to build credibility, visibility, and business growth. You’ll leave with greater clarity on whether your idea belongs on the page—and the smartest next step to bring it to life.
