Author Debut Literary Salon

Author Debut Literary Salon hosted by Cindy Childress, Ph.D.
Reception of wine, non-alcoholic beverages, and light bites begins at 6:00 p.m. before the event at 6:30.

The Literary Salon features a line-up of debut authors from across the U.S. It’s the perfect place for self-help junkies and memoir lovers to discover new voices, rich stories, and powerful insights. Writers who could use a jolt of inspiration and confidence will find both in spades.

This event is the capstone for participants in Dr. Cindy Childress’s 3-Day Maximize Your Impact Mastermind. Each brave writer will take the stage to share a brief excerpt of their work—some of them for the first time in person. You’ll hear heart-felt stories and powerful teachings from authors like:

✒️ Sandy Evenson, a second-time author and Women’s Empowerment Coach, following up her multiple-award-winning, bestselling book, The Woo-Woo Way. Rochester, NY

✒️ MaryAnn Gramig, CliftonStrengths Coach and founder of Authentica Coaching and Consulting, author of The Howl of the Whisper. Lexington, KY

✒️ Jennifer Hacker, Life Coach and Grief Coach, author of forthcoming book, From Gutted to Glorious. San Antonio, TX

✒️ Rebecca Thorne, LCSW, Intuitive Spiritual Healer, and creator of the limited-series, Glimmers in the Granular. Chattanooga, TN

✒️ Jen Ryan, LPC, founder of I Choose Change and author of The Roots of Belonging, currently seeking representation. Dallas, TX

✒️ Vanessa Miller, Business and Mindset Coach, certified Hypnotist and EFT Practitioner, and author of forthcoming book, Daughters of the Hustle. Houston, TX

✒️ Patricia Rogers, CST-D, Trauma-Informed Body and Brain Therapist, and author of Body Smarts: The Guided Journal. Richmond, WV

✒️ McClain Sampson, Ph.D. and MSSW, Associate Professor at the University of Houston and author of forthcoming book, Savage Self-Care. Houston, TX

Authors of published books will have copies available for book signing after the event. They’re all so inspiring, and you just might get an idea or two for that book YOU have been meaning to write.

Here's what bestselling author and previous Literary Salon presenter Marie Posthumus says about the experience:

"Writing can be a solo, isolating endeavor at times. So, I appreciated very much the sense of community, the camaraderie, and the contagious enthusiasm. I felt re-energized and nurtured and came away with some well-supported new ideas."
