Alexa Bigwarfe is a USA Today best-selling author, publishing coach, and passionate advocate for amplifying women’s voices through the power of books. As the founder and CEO of Write|Publish|Sell, she supports women and underrepresented voices in navigating the complex world of book publishing, marketing, and platform-building. Alexa believes books are more than just stories or business cards—they are vehicles for change, empowerment, and lasting impact.

After the devastating loss of her infant daughter, Alexa turned to writing as a form of healing. That journey sparked a mission to help others share their stories and expertise with the world. Since then, she has become a trusted guide for nonfiction and fiction authors alike, helping them publish professional-quality books, launch them successfully, and build sustainable businesses around their work.

Alexa is also the founder of the Women in Publishing Summit, the largest virtual conference for women authors, publishers, and publishing professionals. Through this event and her wider community efforts, she brings together thousands of women each year to share tools, find support, and foster meaningful connections. Her work has led to the creation of a vibrant, values-driven space that champions education, diversity, and empowerment in the publishing industry.

In addition to her work in nonfiction and author coaching, Alexa writes contemporary romantic comedies set in Paris under the pen name Lexi Haddock, blending her love for storytelling, travel, and female-centered narratives.

With a focus on helping authors use their voices to educate, inspire, and entertain, Alexa’s expertise spans writing to heal, building author platforms, launching impactful books, and scaling creative businesses through speaking, podcasting, and thought leadership. Her ultimate mission is to help women turn their words into works of influence—and to make publishing more inclusive, accessible, and impactful for everyone.

Alexa Bigwarfe resides in Columbia, SC with her three teenage children and their dog.
