Having participated in Author U events for over three years, I'm constantly amazed at the consistency of information and support to individual authors who are seeking to publish their books and create new businesses in their areas of expertise.
This is a rare organization where one-on-one mentoring, quality events and live, experiential events give members a hands-on experience of 'how it's done'. The resources that are introduced to authors include vendors and professionals like myself who have common values of bringing excellence in education, business, and entrepreneurial efforts. It's truly above and beyond any other organization I've participated in, not just in the independent publishing industry, but as a example of how to run an organization that doesn't just throw information at participants but how to create a community that multiplies the education and guidance through mentoring and networking in a very real sense.
