The Animal Dreaming Publishing Writers’ Empowerment Conference was first offered back in 2018 as the Your Journey to Success Conference; a self-empowerment Course designed to help bolster self-confidence, drive and the ambition to succeed (in business) in the hearts and minds of all in attendance. Although very successful, the program organically evolved over the years to focus primarily on writing, publishing and what it means to become a successful author.

From the hundreds who have attended since the first YJTS Conference back in 2018, to what is today affectionately known as the ‘Animal Dreaming Publishing Writers’ Empowerment Conference’, we are proud to confirm that many of those who have attended in the past have fruitfully advanced from being people who only dream of being a writer, to writers who have realised their dream of becoming a published author.

But transforming exclusively into a Writers’ Empowerment Workshop wasn’t the only evolutionary step the Conference has taken! As George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying, “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”. The truth is, change cannot be avoided, and with the uncertainties we’ve all been forced to endure these two years past, most of us have learned to roll with the punches. It’s because of this need to adapt that Animal Dreaming Publishing has decided to change the format of the Conference from being a live, in-person event on the Gold Coast, to an online webinar-based experience.

Despite our prayers and best intentions, Covid19 continues to play havoc and not wanting to put anyone at unnecessary risk, we have decided to move the Conference online. Our decision is not so much a fear-based response as some may assume, but rather a carefully planned preventative measure that will ensure the Conference can go ahead without any chance of compromise or risk of postponement or cancellation should Covid decide to change the playing field once again.

So where does this leave you? Well, apart from the obvious disappointment of not attending in person or getting to hang out with like-minded people for three days, the major advantage of going online is that you will not have to worry about booking flights, organising transfers or car hire, finding house-sitters, plant sitters, baby sitters and pet sitters to hold the fort while you’re away, finding affordable accommodation, dining out every night, and all the other hidden expenses attending an in-person Conference demands, so – putting your health and safety aside as motivation enough – we think you’ll agree these are all pretty great reasons to go online.


About the Writers’ Empowerment Conference:

Whether you just love writing, you’re contemplating writing a book, you’re physically writing a book (at any stage of completion), or you’re dreaming of someday writing a book, this ‘writing and publishing’ Conference is for you.

During this Conference, you will learn about the publishing industry (the good, bad and ugly), how to pitch a manuscript, what it REALLY means to be ‘offered a contract’, and what your alternatives are to signing your manuscript over to a publisher – and what it really gets you if you do. Learn how to effectively promote yourself as an author by using social media, establishing a profile, getting your work ‘out there’, building an audience, marketing and branding yourself and earning an income from your writing, both short term and long term. You will be given the opportunity to meet several of our established authors who have successfully written and published their own book or oracle deck with the support of the Animal Dreaming Publishing team. You will feel inspired by their stories, their personal challenges, and the emotional roller coaster that is writing and the process after that saw their work edited, type-set and finally printed and made available in stores throughout Australia and, for many, around the world. If you want to hear the experiences of others, told by the authors themselves, then you will most definitely love this component of the Conference.
But that’s not all. Everyone who attends the Conference for the full three days will be given, as a thank you for getting involved, a $2000 discount off a SELF-PUBLISHING PACKAGE, should you decide to publish your book or oracle cards with us in the future. Trudy will individually tailor-make a unique Package for you by taking on board all of your personal requirements.
Not only that, but as an exclusive incentive for everyone who attends the Conference for all three days, we will offer one person the opportunity to be published by Animal Dreaming Publishing! Yes, that’s right! One lucky participant will be chosen as the deserving recipient of a traditional publishing deal! To be in the running to be chosen, all you need to do is:
While they will naturally see your submissions, please note that neither Scott nor Trudy (or Maria for that matter) will be involved in the actual voting process. They will not have any say or influence over who the winner will be. The winner will be announced (and contacted) three months after the submissions deadline has expired, to allow time for the judges to thoroughly consider the merit of each submission in turn.
Oh, and if it turns out you can’t attend live (for whatever reason), don’t stress. So long as you are fully registered to attend, all three days of the webinar will be recorded and a link to view the recordings will be emailed to you to watch the very next day!

What they’re asking is – is there a process I should be following that will lead me to successfully writing and completing my manuscript? During this workshop, you will be shown simple steps and strategies that will ensure you not only start writing your book, but that you complete your manuscript! By following some simple writing activities, identifying what ‘sort of writer’ you are, and what drives you to write (and when), you will soon be on your way to becoming a published author!

GET YOURSELF OUT THERE!

How to run a successful spiritual business in the technological age. Or … how to turn your published book into the most powerful business card you’ll ever need.

If we heed the medicine ways of the animals, we too will forget how to make mistakes. The ancients knew this ancient language. And we are being urged to remember it.”

Scott remembers this ancient language. He speaks it and can translate it. He has always understood it – very clearly. And from what we can tell, he may very well be one of the few who remembers it so precisely. And now he yearns to share it with you. Of his message he simply says: ‘I understand things about people by simply looking at the animals in their lives, be they their ‘pets’, intentional encounters or accidental ones. I can tell a person where they are at in life, why they are there and what needs to be done to resolve it by simply asking them about the animals they have seen in the past 24 hours.

I can also see the animal spirits that surround them. I have been able to see them since I was eight years of age. And from these animals, I can determine much about their life, their loved ones in Spirit and the stuff going on in their life on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. They literally speak to me.

This is my gift and it is my yearning to take this message out into the world.’
