How about Jennie Nash. She runs Author Accelerator and hosts some of the most popular classes on CreativeLive!

I stumbled across a freelance editor named Loni Crittenden. She runs Crit & Pen Editorial, and she offers various editorial services. She has a Facebook page here. Also, she offers a five-step story planning system, The Dapper Drafter.

Okay. The summit (thanks to you all) has a great line up of speakers. Wow. Thank you to @kellygunteratlas @Argent @MsBT @kate and everyone else who recommended names.
New question: now I’m investigating sponsors. I want to reach out to companies that might want to get involved. There is space in the summit site to include a sponsor’s logo.
What companies or tools do you use in your writing life?
- Scrivener
- Ulysses
- Pro Writing Aid
What else? What’s a company I could reach out to?
Great news!
Sponsor ideas are: Plottr (great software for writers), Grammarly, Scrivener, and Reedsy might be interested.
If the summit includes anything for non-fiction writers, I can recommend smartblogger.com.

That’s fantastic news! As for tools I use, Grammarly on a daily basis. I’ve tried Scrivener and Novel Factory. Others I can think of: Papyrus Author, Dramatica Pro, SmartEdit, LivingWriter, Storyist, Pages, Hemingway Editor, Dropbox, Freedom, and Vellum.

Great suggestions.
If anyone else has a tech recommendation, let me know.
Freewrite is a tech company that seems geared to the needs of writers. https://getfreewrite.com/

Oooooooohh…. Great pick.
Have you checked out this year’s NaNoWriMo sponsors yet? They have quite a few new companies/services I’ve never heard of, but that look promising. You might want to reach out to some of them. https://nanowrimo.org/offers

Ulysses (the writing app) is going to offer two licenses as raffle prizes for attendees! Hooray!

I posted this link and my comments in the pantser and plotting thread, and thought writer/coach Annalisa Parent would be great for the summit.

Thank you. I’m at this awkward place where I’m not sure if I invited too many speakers or too few! With luck, the speaker schedule will be clearer by the end of the week.
I thought you probably had enough… maybe next time (hint)!

Some (small) good news: my favourite writing app, Ulysses, is giving away five one-year licenses as a raffle / giveaway during the event.
And Jessica Brody, while she can’t speak at this year’s event, is offering participants a one-month trial of some of her courses.
More to come! I am writing a fresh email a day…

Heads up: I hope this is okay, but as the summit approaches, I am going to archive this discussion. Once people start joining this community because they joined the summit, this building process may be a little bit too “behind the scenes.”
I am extremely grateful for all the recommendations and contact info located in this thread. The event would not be as good without you all.

I’m so sad about Loni Crittenden — I emailed her (twice — a week or so later) with no reply. She looks perfect for the event. But I feel like three messages is too much.

That disappoints me, too. She would have been an interesting speaker.

All right, team. Some of the speakers have shared the summit with their followers, so I’m going to archive this conversation later today.
I really appreciate the advice and recs shared here (and in private). Your input has made this so much better.
