Have you ever attended an in-person writing conference or summit?

This week's guest is not only a full-time writer and productivity guru, she's organizing the Author Alchemy Summit in Portland February 22-25!

Jessie Kwak is an author and business book ghostwriter living in Portland, Oregon. She is the organizer of the Author Alchemy Summit, as well as the author of a supernatural thriller, two series of space scoundrel sci-fi crime novels, and a handful of productivity books including From Chaos to Creativity and From Big Idea to Book.

The path from scribbling in notebooks to professional ghostwriting is no small feat. Jessie opens up about her strategies for productivity, including reserving her mornings for creative fiction and afternoons for client work. It's not just about finding time but protecting it fiercely.

Our discussion then shifts to the more personal side of writing—self-promotion and confronting impostor syndrome. We affirm the power of individual narratives, sharing touching stories of readers who have found solace in our work, and reminding all authors that their words can be a sanctuary for someone out there.

In our final segment, the spotlight turns to the Author Alchemy Summit and all the work that goes into planning and attending a writers' conference. From the event's conception to networking for the introverted author, we explore strategies for creating an engaging, memorable conference that can leave a lasting impression on attendees.
