  Black writers: Attendees at last year's Red Ink Conference in Detroit, Michigan
  The Red Ink Conference: The Premier Conference for Authors & Editors will empower attendees to write, edit and market their next bestseller – at a fraction of the cost. Many of the attendees will be indie authors who are just starting their publishing journey.
  They are inviting aspiring bestsellers, as well as those who want to take their writing to the next level by editing for other indie authors, to join us in Troy, MI at the Hilton Garden Inn on Saturday, May 19, 2018 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  The conference will cap at 100 attendees. Collectively, our conference speakers, Tenita "Bestseller" Johnson, Valerie J. Lewis-Coleman, Vanessa Lynn and Bro. Bedford have over 30 years of industry experience and run successful businesses that support indie authors nationwide. Together, they are determined to make a dent in the book publishing world and have attendees learn new, innovative information that will position them to build a solid platform as an authorpreneur and speaker.
  Attendees can expect to glean information on marketing, crafting a solid book synopsis, as well as self-publishing industry secrets that will save them both time and money. In addition, authors and aspiring authors alike will learn how to take their manuscript from the page to the theatre stage. The Red Ink Conference will also debut in Atlanta this year on September 15, 2018 for the first time. Registration for Atlanta will open April 1, 2018.
  Early bird admission tickets are $97 through April 1, 2018 for the Detroit conference. Thereafter, general admission tickets are $167. VIP attendees and vendors will receive an on-site professional photo shoot at the event.
