The biggest virtual event for women in the publishing industry!
Over 40 workshops for Nonfiction/General, Fiction, and Children’s book authors!
This event is for authors, editors, publishers, and marketers. Culminating on International Women’s Day, we celebrate, empower, encourage, and support women writers and professionals in the publishing industry.
Networking, connection, publishers, agents, and experts—we’ve got you covered!
Join Alesha R. Brown and an outstanding lineup of publishing-industry leaders for two days of practical business education created for authors and publishing professionals who want to build stronger, more sustainable enterprises.
Alesha is honored to participate as a featured speaker, but the value extends far beyond any single session. This is an opportunity to learn from the collective expertise of professionals who understand the challenges authors and publishing businesses face—and what it takes to move forward strategically.
From Indie to Enterprise: Build a Sustainable Publishing Business!
Independent publishers and author-publishers often know how to produce books—but building a sustainable publishing enterprise requires more than publishing individual titles.
In this six-part online implementation workshop, publishing strategist and award-winning entrepreneur Alesha Brown will guide participants from scattered publishing activity to a clear 12-month operating plan they can actually use.
Across six live sessions, participants will clarify their publishing business model, identify revenue opportunities, uncover profit leaks, strengthen systems, and make practical decisions that support sustainable growth.
This workshop is designed for independent publishers and author-publishers who are ready to operate more strategically, improve profitability, and build a stronger publishing enterprise.
Workshop dates: Fridays, October 9–November 13, 2026
Time: 10:00–11:15 a.m. Pacific; 1:00-2:15 p.m. Eastern Standard
