There’s a publishing community where authors, editors, designers, and industry pros actually collaborate instead of compete.

Now imagine all of them in the same room for three days building marketing strategies, content, and partnerships.

That’s WIPCon in Columbia.

The speakers are incredible… but the real magic of WIPCON is the room itself.

And every speaker was personally curated by Alexa Bigwarfe to help create an event that actually moves your publishing career forward.
