The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors® was founded to honor Best-Selling Authors® around the world for their contribution to education, enlightenment and the advancement of business. This is your year to receive your Quilly® Award, and be feted in the highest style. This September, the Academy will hold its Ninth annual ThoughtLeader® Summit and Awards Gala – the biggest and best event we’ve ever hosted – and it’s all designed to shine the spotlight where it belongs... on YOU!

The ThoughtLeader® Summit is the top event for Best-Selling Authors® and ThoughtLeaders® who are committed to sharing their knowledge with others.

Here is what will make this ThoughtLeader® Summit better than any event you have ever attended:

• The first evening of NAEWS Awards Week will begin Wednesday, September 19th, with a reception honoring you. We'll be taking lots of photos and video that you can put on your websites and in your marketing materials for all to see. This is your opportunity to make friends and connections for future JVs and affiliate relationships.

• On the second day, we’ll have surprise guest speakers that will share their best information with you to help you continue to grow your status and your business.

• That evening, we will take The Original Home of the Oscars by storm. We have partnered with the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, to host our annual black-tie event.  After getting settled in the ballroom, we’ll get to what you’ve been waiting for – the presentation of the Quilly® Awards! Now, because this is a commemorative award, you must be present to accept your Quilly®.

After you accept your award, we will take photos of you with your Quilly® just as you've seen stars backstage with their Grammy and Emmy® awards, and you will be interviewed on the red carpet. You will also receive a professionally filmed and edited HD video of your interview, about being a Best-Selling Author® and accepting your Quilly® Award to use on your website and in your marketing materials. This is an experience and an honor few ever have the possibility of achieving, so you won't want to miss out!

For the 9th Annual ThoughtLeader® Summit and Quilly® Awards Summit, we pulled out all the stops, and we are so excited to announce our Celebrity Guest Featured Speakers, but we can’t just yet. Our headliner has asked us to wait to make the big announcement. So stay tuned for the announcement of our surprise guest.

Your hosts and your guides during this extraordinary event: will be none other than Nick, Jack, Lindsay and Greg.

BONUS: We have just gotten word that the man, the legend, the Best-Selling Author® and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, Jack Canfield will be joining us all at the VIP Welcome Reception at the Hollywood Roosevelt. This is your chance to meet, mingle and take photos with the man who has sold more than 500 Million books worldwide.

This is the Ninth year for the ThoughtLeader® Summit, and every year it grows in size. Our goal is to build a legacy that will be the equivalent of the Oscars, the Emmys® or even the Grammys - but it's all for you because you are now a Best-Selling Author® or ThoughtLeader®

The National Association of Experts Writers and Speakers® is going all out to make this event on par with those organizations, starting with the awards you will receive.

Each Best-Sellers' Quilly® Award is a 15-inch statue that has been sculpted and crafted by the same people who make the Oscars and the Emmy® Awards. They are truly one-of-a-kind awards that you cannot get anywhere else. This award is personal recognition of your accomplishment. You will want to put it in a strategic place for your clients and prospects to see and also recognize you for your Best-Selling Author® status.

High class, high fashion and high honors are all a part of the Quilly® Awards!

The awards ceremony will be a black tie affair, so get ready to get dressed up and have lots of fun as you accept your awards! Can you imagine the looks on the faces of your clients when they walk into your office and see a 15-inch Best-Sellers' Quilly® Award on display? I am sure you know by now, like I do, that this is the can't miss event of the year where you're going to:

• Meet Jack Canfield, Legendary Best-Selling Author® and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series
• Attend our Best-Sellers’ Reception, honoring You!
• Party with your fellow Best-Selling Authors® at the Quilly® Awards at the Legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
• Receive your Best-Sellers’ Quilly® Award for your accomplishments as a Best-Selling Author®
• Pose for photos and be interviewed on HD video as you walk the Red Carpet to Accept your Best-Sellers’ Quilly® Award
• And MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Right now, we’re working hard behind the scenes to ensure the 9th Annual ThoughtLeader® Summit & Quilly® Awards is absolutely unmissable. From the first toast at the welcome reception to the final bow at the Quilly® Awards show (along with a few exciting surprises), you will experience the life of a true Celebrity Expert® because YOU are the guest of honor.

In the past, our Best-Sellers’ stage featured ThoughtLeaders® from around the world sharing their insider secrets for maximizing the value of their Best-Selling books through unique marketing strategies – the same strategies that you can take home and implement in your business.

We’ve also had the honor and the pleasure of presenting some of the greatest minds in writing, in business, and in innovation as our Celebrity Guests. People such as Tom Hopkins, Simon Bailey, Jack Canfield, Tommy Bahler, Peter Diamandis, and many more.

And this year, we are excited to feature our most spectacular line-up ever!
