Every spring, in the first week of March, authors and service providers have the opportunity to attend the Women in Publishing Summit. It’s filled with opportunities for education and networking with attendees.
I’ve attended for the last five years (and presented four times too), and here’s why I think you should consider attending.
You can purchase your ticket today (aff link) and get started in the WIP Summit community.
Can’t attend live? Want to attend two sessions at once but haven’t figured out how to break the time-space continuum? Not to worry because you have access to the replays until the end of the year.
If you’re a kidlit writer, you’re probably assuming there are kidlit sessions there if I’m promoting it (and you’re right). But if you write fiction or nonfiction for adults (or edit it!), you’ll find plenty of sessions to choose from too. The Women in Publishing Summit is for authors of all types of books.
Writers don’t get to have all the fun. You’ll find sessions for service providers who work with authors too, like editors, coaches, illustrators, and book designers.
The networking sessions are one of the most popular offerings during the actual summit, and this year the opportunities to connect will continue throughout the year for summit attendees. You never know who you’ll meet and what connection you’ll make.
You’ll find a group of supportive, encouraging writers when you join the Women in Publishing Summit as an attendee. Some will just be getting started, while others will have published numerous books. All are welcome.
Writing can be an isolating activity, so it’s great to find likeminded people to connect with. And there are enough presentations to watch to keep you busy with replays until the end of the year.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up today (aff) and get access to all of the pre-conference, conference, and post-conference events.
