What Others Have to Say

Thank you for this phenomenal opportunity. You have put together a Magnificent program and one of the Best Leadership and Success oriented informational trainings I have ever attended. I did purchase the package so that I can go back and re-listen to these presentations as I travel on this path of Writing and Authorship. Your courses are a big help to not have to “re-invent the wheel” so to speak. I am 71 years young and Time is a commodity I cannot waste. My writings will be my legacy to my Family. Again I thank you for your Professionalism of reaching out to help Women be All they Can Be.

Directly because of Women in Publishing, because of you, Alexa Bigwarfe, I met a publisher and in less than two weeks my novel was accepted. I am so very grateful for the WIP conference.

Just signed up for this summit and I'm very excited! I've taken Alexa Bigwarfe's Publishing and Marketing conference and it was truly AMAZING. I learned so much…made terrific connections…worth every penny. I'm sure this will be, too!

Fabulous!  (I probably shouldn't say this out loud, but based on what I've seen so far, and what I know is coming, I would have easily paid double!) 😁

Thank you. Thank you for interviewing all these women, compiling all these resources and best of all, giving it away simply for the sake of helping other women — in your own words — ditch the fear and just write. I'm not sure how many other 18 yr old girls are watching the videos in this summit, but I have to say they have provided the most detailed and helpful advice I have seen so far. (Though to be honest, I doubt I'll be able to make the most of it until I'm older. Perks of not being 21 in Malaysia, you see). I'll be sure to attend next year's WIP summit and (hopefully) the dozen more summits after that. Again, thank you and have a good day.

Such an amazing conference. So impressed with the content. By far the most comprehensive collection for a writing/publishing conference. Great job!
