“The Nonfiction Writers Conference is the best tool I have in my writer’s toolkit. I’ve attended for two years, and it has helped me navigate the complicated world of writing, publishing, marketing, and staying sane. The value of what I received exceeded the price I paid. Stephanie Chandler is a treasure; she understands what writers need and she delivers it with integrity and fun. To every nonfiction writer I say, ‘Sign up for this conference and pay for the audio recordings (and transcripts if you want). If you can’t attend, you can listen to the transcripts. You won’t be sorry.’”

Bonus: the online conference brought authors and speakers into my own home. Most cost effective!”

“The 2012 Nonfiction Writer’s Conference, hosted by Stephanie Chandler, was an outstanding three-day event! Each presenter revealed an incredible amount of the latest information pertinent to nonfiction writers and authors. I now have a notebook filled with their professional handouts and a stack of notes I’m also using day by day. In addition, I received downloaded recordings of each presentation, to review at my leisure. What’s more, I’m using this information to move forward with my website — yes, it’s now in development — to attract just the right publisher for my manuscript. Thank you so much, Stephanie, and all those who made the NFWC such a success!”

The flexibility of listening now and to the recorded shows later makes sure attendees can maximize the information provided by experts. Stephanie did a wonderful job starting and finishing each session on time, which allowed me to do my “day job” at the same time. Having that much access to industry leaders was worth more than the price charged.”

She has brought together dynamic speakers who showcase their respective specialties and share their insights, strategies and observations on the latest trends in the information age. Prepare to be wowed!”
– Jeanette LeBlanc, Ph.D.
“Herding cats – that’s the expression that comes to mind when I think of many conferences I’ve attended in forty years. Those conferences were in real time at a set location, so I felt a little queasy about doing a virtual conference. “Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come.”* That’s the way Stephanie Chandler achieved a smashing success with her first Nonfiction Writers Conference last week. The speakers were clearly experts in their fields offering an incredible array of hands-on information. The sessions were on time. The directions were clear and they worked. And even when Dan Poynter, the keynote speaker, was unable to participate from South Africa where the Internet was down, Stephanie graciously and calmly directed the discussion to something interesting and important. Bravo Stephanie!”
