Finish Your First Draft Edition (March 24, 2026)
Speaker Information + Resources
I’m so excited to team up with you to pull off something that’s going to be absolutely incredible.
The Kingdom Writers Conference on March 24, 2026 is a one-day event that will help writers finish the first draft of their books.
On this page, you’ll find all kinds of resources meant to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible and answer any questions you might have. If you run into a question I didn’t answer, email me at support@trainingauthors.com.
Bookmark this page so that you can refer back to it. I will update the Resource Vault section as we get closer to the conference!
If you’ve been a speaker at other conferences or summits, please set aside your expectations – we do things a little differently around here! We make it super easy for you. You can hear about our process directly from the speakers who have been part of our past conferences here.
I’m excited to include you!

How It’ll All Work
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
This free event will be a one-day conference on March 24, 2026. The presentations will include 20-25 minutes of audio content (with a 2-minute promo at the end to something you offer for free).
Along with the presentations, we will host a kick-off Zoom call in the morning with CJ and Shelley. You are NOT required to attend the Zoom call.
Promotion
Leading up to the conference, we’ll have two weeks of promotion from March 10th – March 24th, 2026. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I’ll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.
You will have the opportunity to earn affiliate commissions from All-Access Pass sales. Then, you’ll have a second opportunity to earn commissions when we promote our membership, Christian Book Academy, following the conference. This will provide immense value to our attendees while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions. Yay!

What I’ll Need From You
So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you?
My goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all provide great value while growing our businesses.
1. SPEAKER CONTRACT
After you commit to speaking at this conference, you will be emailed a link to a page where you will fill in your name and email address. Our system will then email you a contract you can sign digitally. This should only take you a few minutes.
IMPORTANT: In our speaker agreement, we ask that you send one solo email to your list about the event. This means that you’ll send a dedicated email with no other calls to action or links in it. The power of an event like this is combining our promotions to reach as many writers as possible. If you are not able to commit to sending at least one email, then this event is not the right fit for you.
2. SPEAKER INFORMATION FORM
Next, I’ll need some basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and promotional materials.
This information includes things like:
Name
Title
Bio
Square headshot
Title of your presentation
Etc.
Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information easily.
3. PRESENTATION
Next up is your presentation! This is a 20-25 minute pre-recorded audio only presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great while having fun in the process.
Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they’ve really learned something, rather than in a webinar format where they feel like they’re missing something that they need to buy from you asap.
With that being said, this will be an audio-only presentation (no slides, yay!). If you want to record it as a video so you can repurpose it in other ways in your business feel free to do that. However, we will only be using the audio portion. If you have slides or visuals that are necessary, let us know and we can share a video instead.
Think of it like recording a solo podcast episode.
You are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future after the conference is over.
Your presentation should include great, actionable content.
Here’s the suggested format:
A quick introduction of yourself and your business
An overview of your topic
Where people go wrong with your topic and tend to overcomplicate it
Teaching section
One small action step they can take TODAY. We don’t want them to simply consume information but to take action as well.
Up to a 2-minute freebie pitch
If you’d like to check out an example, let us know and we can send you examples from our previous conferences.
Presentations need to be recorded and received no later than 3/4/26.
4. PROMOTION
The power of an online conference comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
Because of that, everyone agrees to send at least one solo email to their lists during the promotion period from March 10th – March 24th, 2026. If you are also able to post on social media, that would be great!
You’ll want to share using your affiliate link (which you can set up here) so you can get in on the 50% commission that will come from any one-time fee product sales and 30% on membership sales. Make sure to use the link as it is given and NOT the redirect link in order to get credit for your referrals.
You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below.
Affiliate Details
While conferences are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?
That’s exactly why I’ve set up an affiliate program where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made automatically 7 days after the sale to your business Paypal account.
To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads.
Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create or look up here. We give 50% commission that will come from any one-time fee product sales and 30% on membership sales. If you contribute to the All-Access Pass, you will then get 75% commissions for any sales of the All-Access Pass.
We use Thrivecart and they allow you to add a bonus when promoting a specific product. This can help increase your conversions. You can see how to do this here.
As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
Resource Vault
Now for the resources, I promised to make sure your life as easy as possible.
In this Google drive folder you’ll find the following information:
1. Email swipe copy and suggested send dates.
2. Social media swipe copy and suggested posting dates.
3. Promo graphics to share on social media and in emails.
