What This Event Is
This is not a typical author panel. It’s part awards show, part insider’s masterclass, part and 100% inspiration.
Top Talent Book Week brings together bestselling, award‑winning, life‑changing authors—both famous and fiercely underrated—for a week you will not forget.
Over this special broadcast, we will:
- Discuss & celebrate the books that actually shift lives: the ones that launch businesses, heal families, spark movements, and rewrite careers.
- Present awards to this year’s winners, finalists, and nominees. (You’ll see who took home the top honors—and hear their raw, uncut acceptance moments.)
- Give you, the viewer, exclusive behind‑the‑scenes access that no podcast or interview has ever offered.
What kind of access?
We go deep into the making of each book:
How long did it actually take to write? (The years, the false starts, the all‑nighters.)
What happened in their lives that made them write it? (The breakdown, the betrayal, the sudden clarity.)
Never‑before‑known details from some of the most famous books of our time.
Insider secrets from brand‑new authors and fresh releases you might have missed—but need to read now.

Why You Must Attend
Four reasons to clear your schedule:
- You get the red‑carpet treatment—without leaving your couch.
We’re honoring this year’s winners, finalists, and nominees live. Whether you’re cheering for a global icon or a debut author, you’ll feel the energy of real recognition. And yes—you’ll see which books took home the awards.
- You’ll hear from legends and discover your next favorite author.
Already confirmed:
- Lisa Nichols – #1 New York Times bestselling author
- David Meltzer – Entrepreneur, author, sports agent and top motivational speaker
- David Fagan – His last book sold over 100,000 copies in the first 30 days alone.
And many more, including Sharon Lechter, Les Brown, Jack Canfield, Donnie Epstein, Dr John DeMartini, Daven Michaels
Plus lesser‑known authors with massive impact:
- Melanie Soloway – A quiet masterpiece you’ve probably missed
- Dennis Denoia – A new voice with life‑changing lessons
And more names (including nominees & winners) to be announced daily.
- You get the “insider access” that most readers will never see.
How did that famous chapter almost get cut?
What did the author cry over at 2 AM?
Which book was written in 27 days—and which took 12 years?
We ask the questions that only another writer (or a very brave interviewer) would ask. You’ll walk away feeling like you ghostwrote the book yourself.
- You’ll discover the books you need to read right now.
Between the award nominees, the finalists, and the fresh voices, you’ll leave with a reading list that isn’t just popular—it’s prescribed for your growth. No algorithms. No bestseller lists. Just real, human recommendations from authors who have seen the other side.

Past answers have included:
“I wrote the first draft in a storage unit because I was too embarrassed to write at home.” “The ‘true story’ in my book actually happened to my sister, not me—and she made me promise to tell it.” “It took 11 days to write and 3 years to publish. Here’s why.”
You’ll get those stories first, live, and unscripted.
