We’re on a mission to bring transparency, collaboration, and cooperation to writing and publishing.

There are lots of ways to learn, but few, if any, are as effective as learning by example. With a framework to follow and a guide at your side, we believe most people can learn to do or improve on just about anything. And we have a plan to make it happen.

The virtual workshops and seminars educational series at field15 is all about connecting people who have “been there and done that” with the people who are still trying to figure out where to go and what to do—at least when it comes to writing about and publishing on nonfiction.

But in a world already overflowing with free advice, algorithmically-driven search results, and LLMs ready to cough up an answer to any question, do people really need yet another learning option? We think so.

Come join us in a free, small-group, 30-minute seminar to learn why we’ve launched this series, what makes it different, who we’re partnering with, how you can participate, and how you’ll be compensated. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, and by the end of the session, you’ll know how to:

1

Decide whether becoming a speaker makes sense for you.

Review the current state of both publishing and virtual learning, identify the pros and cons with the status quo, and learn why field15 has chosen a different path.
2

Evaluate the benefits of participation.

Examine both the compensation model and the non-tangible benefits of participation, including marketing and promotion, additional engagement opportunities, and cultivating the next generation of nonfiction authors and publishers.
3

Take the next step towards becoming a speaker.

Explore the available resources and gather up the materials you'll need to become a seminar and workshop speaker yourself.

What Sets This Session Apart?

Whether you’re already sure you’d like to become a speaker or you’re only just interested in learning more about field15’s virtual workshops and seminars, this free session is the most definitive source of information available. Plus, the small-group, real-time format means you’ll have a chance to ask all the questions that matter most to you personally.
