IBPA Publishing University 2026

After successfully completing six international author events in Germany and Singapore, author publisher (self-published author) Courtney Kelly will share her framework, strategy, and lessons learned from these experiences. During this interactive session, attendees will walk away with the specific steps that she took to secure bookings at schools, libraries, and organizations abroad while minimizing cost and maximizing impact. Using this proven blueprint, author publishers will be equipped with the tools to generate their own roadmap of how to plan, implement, and execute international event opportunities for their publications. Additionally, she will provide insights from her visit to the 2024 Frankfurt Book Fair where she leveraged IBPA’s display options to showcase her books at the largest international book fair in the world.
