Thinking about writing a book this year?
Already published and not seeing the sales?
Confused with all the publishing options?
Join us for our workshop:
Publishing Secrets Revealed and Unfiltered!
April 4 – 5 2023
Minneapolis, MN or Virtually ONLY $95 for 2 days!
Are you curious about what it takes to work with a publisher vs self-publishing your book?
Maybe you’ve heard about hybrid publishing, but the ISBN and copyright ownership
is confusing to you? (yes it is!)
Here’s your chance to learn from the leading inspirational book publisher when we
come to Minneapolis for a 2 day hands-on workshop.
- This is for you if you’ve ever thought about writing a book.
- This is for you if you’ve already written your manuscript and are looking at publishing options.
- This is for you if you have published your book, and it’s not doing as well as you hoped.
We Get You - We Are You!
Our authors are on a mission with wisdom to impart. They know the time has come to share their message and help heal the planet. We believe that the power of a book should be available to everyone . And we are passionate about helping you get your message out there. Now.
I’m Michelle Vandepas
Co-founder of GracePoint publishing and I have 24 years of experience in all aspects of publishing. As you can imagine, everything has changed in those years, and I’ve kept up with it all, the good, bad, and the confusing, so you don’t have to.
(Should I publish directly on Amazon or through a distributor?)
(How will I know how many copies of my book will sell?)
(If don’t know how to TikTok or selfie, am I doomed?)
I’ve helped authors with all types of publishing including getting agents, book deals,
self-publishing, and getting out of contracts that no longer worked for them.
Some of our authors have had movies made about them and been interviewed on major media platforms, and some have gone on to build successful businesses.
However, sometimes writing and publishing your book is enough. I’ve had a client reach out after hearing her book saved someone from suicide. Another author is helping women who have experienced trauma in childhood. Another volunteers with foster youth.
No matter your background, inspiring story, or lack of writing skills, I’d love for to you come be with me and our publishing director, Tascha Yoder, in inneapolis on April 4, from 12:00PM to 4:00 PM and April 5th, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (CT)
(And yes, you can come via Zoom or watch the replay if you prefer)
These are just a few of the topics that we will cover that will help you learn the best ways to write, publish, and market your book!

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are thinking of writing, have already written, or have even already published, this will help you understand how to move forward. We deliberately made this workshop affordable and available in person or virtually so everyone has a chance to attend.
This workshop is primarily for non-fiction and memoir writers, however we have a lot of information that will help business books, fiction writers, and all genres!
We will be offering replays of the event for ticket holders, and you'll have the opportunity to pre-submit your questions and follow up after the workshop with any questions not answered. You can watch the replays on your own time. They will be available for ninety days after the live event.
Nope! You get the exact same program no matter how you attend, all for the same price! There is a benefit of flying or driving in however, as we will get to meet you in person and being in the community energy of the live event.
Sorry, although we don't offer refunds, we allow you to switch from live to virtual or vice versa as long as we have space!
Just email admin@gracepointpublishing.com
We wish we could predict the future, as we know travel has gotten difficult. We plan on arriving a day early in case of storms or delays and encourage you to as well, in fact, if you come early, let us know so we can have a drink or tea together! Our intention is that we will be holding this workshop. If something wild and crazy happens out of our control, we'll still hold it virtually. (We did have to cancel events in the Spring of 2020!)
