Alexa Bigwarfe is a USA Today best-selling author and the founder and CEO of Write|Publish|Sell, a company dedicated to helping authors professionally self-publish and market their books. Her courses and training focus on training authors for success, author platform growth, and creative ways to market books, especially for those who know nothing about marketing.
