“This is the third NFWC event I’ve attended, and I’ve found all of them to be worthwhile and informative!”
– Kyle Ball, “Altared: A Tale of Renovating a Medieval Church in Tuscany”, www.kyletackwellball.com

“The Fall 2021 Nonfiction Writers Conference was the first I had attended. It was packed with useful information! I particularly appreciated the ask-the-pro session with publicity coach, Joanne McCall, who gave me some great tips. And I was lucky to be chosen to pitch my next book idea to a panel of agents! Thank you, NFWC, for a terrific, information-packed, conference.”
– Maria Leonard Olsen, author of “50 After 50: Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life.” www.MariaLeonardOlsen.com

– Margaret Meloni, author of Sitting with Death: Buddhist Insights to Help You Face Your Fears and Live a Peaceful Life, www.margaretmeloni.com
“This was my first NFWC, and I got so much value! I will definitely attend every year. I’ve been attending and volunteering at the Willamette Writers Conference for about 20 years and loved the energy, but it had a strong leaning toward film and fiction. NFWC was so smoothly executed–I’m sure it’s because you have so much experience with virtual conferences and are not scrambling to switch over due to Covid. Well done, highest marks across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “
– Wendela Whitcomb Marsh
“This was my very first conference. Even though my book has been selling, I could see It wasn’t getting the traction it needed. I LEARNED SO MUCH from this conference. I now see paths and avenues for me not only to market my book but to gain traction in building my brand as a Senior Influencer.”

I came away not only with pages of notes, but with immediate steps I can take to help boost visibility for my recent memoir Api’s Berlin Diaries: My Quest to understand my Grandfather’s Nazi Past (She Writes Press, Sept. 2020). I recommend the conference to any author of hybrid or self-published books.”
– Gabrielle Robinson https://www.gabriellerobinson.com/
“I am a first-time author and my launch was the week following the conference. So NFWC served as a great way to see if there were additional things I needed to do to have a more effective launch. It must have worked. In my second day of sales, I am #2 best seller in one category and #3 in a second category.”
– Richard Haiduck

“I learned actionable steps from each one of the NFWC Fall 2020 Zoom conference speakers on how to market my just-published, non-fiction book. Each speakers’ handouts were great, but I also took notes on those things that I knew I could, and would, do. There was so much value in this conference at this time in my writing career. Well worth my time, energy and the conference fee. I’ll be back for more!”

But it will definitely help with the next one…”
– Carey Parker “Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons” https://firewallsdontstopdragons.com/
“As always, Stephanie Chandler did a fantastic job putting together a deep and varied bench of presenters to appeal to attendees at every level of nonfiction authorship and publishing. Ten years in, she continues to show the kind of vision and pioneering spirit that made her one of the first to leverage the virtual meeting space in service to her clients. Thanks for another of the best investments I make in my career as a nonfiction author.”
– Mary Shafer, “Road Magic: Life As A Fulltime Nomad,” maryshafer.com
“As a non-fiction writer, I was always frustrated spending money on a conference, including hotel, travel and food, to have 2 or 3 of the classes apply to me. NFWC focuses 100% on non-fiction writers, the cost is affordable, and there are no travel or other expenses. I strongly suggest you purchase at least the level that includes the recordings–you’ll want to listen to them over and over again with all the jam-packed info! Love this conference!”

Stephanie, thank you so much for your commitment to supporting non-fiction authors.”
– Patricia Reed Kliman – www.ahavativrit.com
“For the nonfiction writer, joining NFAA is a must do, especially if you are self-publishing. I can’t imagine trying to do this without the resources it offers. I have just upped my membership to VIP because NFAA is that important to my work. Sign up at whatever level of the tribe that you can afford, and do it today!”
– Marcia Ledford
“I left the NFWC with new tools and motivations to be more effective and profitable as a writer. Even the sessions that I didn’t think were germane to me, surprised me with applicable content. Thank-you for creating a community where it feels like we all want to help the other succeed.”
– Amy Lou Jenkins author, Corners: Voices on Change, JackWalkerPress.com.
“I am in the process of writing my second book and this conference could not have come at a better time for me.

– Conni Eckstein

The speakers all had great backgrounds and presented a variety of relevant topics. A few of them hit on things I was planning to do or need to improve on right now, and that was immeasurably helpful. All in all a great conference. Very helpful to have recordings of the sessions and downloadable handouts too. Kudos to Stephanie Chandler for accommodating us nonfiction writers. I felt as if I were home!”

The Nonfiction Writers Conference has set my writing business on a new trajectory!”
– Lynn Hare, The Quest for Self-Forgiveness, www.lynnhare.com
“What a joy to finally have a resource for workshops focused on non-fiction writing!

“Just over 6 months ago, while awaiting my proof from my publisher, I attended the Non-Fiction Writer’s Conference. I listened to all 15 hours and took lots of notes. I was left free of the characteristic overwhelm I used to feel when it comes to social media and self-promotion. I started out with a great, positive sense and a structured plan. NFWC got me over my social media allergy! After 12 years of toil, Psychology in the Light of the East came out on 30th January 2017. The internet is peppered with reviews, podcasts, interviews, a vlog series and more, and I am relaxed and aglow. The greatest proof is in the pudding… my book has consistently been in the top 20s and 30s in my genre on amazon.com for the entire week. Thank you for getting me ready and giving me confidence and structure to tackle the hurdle of book promo! I look forward to next year’s conference and, yes, another book!

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 Nonfiction Writers’ Conference presented an incredible amount of information by experienced writers, publishers and agents. I was overwhelmed by the amount of in-depth information presented and will be listening to the recordings again and again. Even with that said, I came away with several new ideas and action steps that I could take immediately to begin building my platform, focusing my content and reaching more people.Thank you, Stephanie for taking the time and effort to organize such an inspiring and informative event.”

“This educational conference covered almost everything in three days. 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.”

“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!”
