Introducing the VSAI Book Project:
Amplify Your Voice, Elevate Your Brand
There is a dynamic relationship between authors who speak and speakers who write. However, many speakers delay writing a book because they think it’s too hard, time constraints, or they are unsure what to even write about. But what if you could be the contributing author to a book that features other excellent speakers on a range of business topics? A book that enables you to fully explore and understand the power of having your name and content in print.
In 2025 VSAI and Indie Experts are working together to help ensure that 15 authors contribute to a business book that will reach your audiences, event planners, and potential clients.
How looooooooonnggg …. have you been thinking about writing a book?
