Free for All Morgan James Authors

After a successful return at Podfest 2026, the Morgan James Red Carpet Event is back for 2027.

We’re thrilled to bring this special tradition to life once again, this time at Podfest, one of the nation’s premier podcasting and creator conferences.

Note full Podfest dates: January 14–17, 2027

Join us for a special red carpet moment celebrating our authors, complete with:

  • A personal gift from founder David Hancock

  • Photo opportunities on the official red carpet

  • Time to connect with fellow authors, podcasters, and media professionals

This exclusive experience is free for all Morgan James authors, but space is limited. In future years, participation will be reserved for authors releasing new titles that year. Since we’re making up for lost time, this special relaunch is open to our entire author community. Reserve your spot early to be part of this exciting celebration of creativity, connection, and community.
