About this Event

Who This Experience is For

The Autonomous Author Experience is a curated live conversation designed for aspiring authors, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and professionals ready to amplify their voice, expand their impact, and explore the power of authorship.

But what about those of you who have a story, but don't believe it is worthy of being told?

This experience is for you as well.

In many cases, the first challegene of authorship is not writing the book. It is believing your voice has value and your experiences have power to give others permission to do the same.

About the Facilitator

Hosted and facilitated by Lisa L. Howze—six-figure self-published author of Candy Girl Mentality, keynote speaker, and creator of transformational leadership experiences—this intimate gathering brings together published authors and experts for an afternoon of insight, strategy, inspiration, and authentic conversation.

This is more than a panel discussion.

It is a space where stories build bridges to influence and impact.

What You'll Gain

Guests will hear real conversations about:

  • Moving beyond fear, self-doubt, and perfectionism
  • Understanding that uploading your book to platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble is not the finish line--it is just the beginning, for most
  • Turning your story, expertise, and book into a platform for influence, impact, and opportunity

Featured Authors & Experts

  • Rachel Dawson — Executive Career Coach, author of Bold, Black & Brilliant
  • Leslie Andrews — Encouragement Strategist, author of Grown Woman Commandments
  • Jehan Crump-Gibson — Estate and Business Attorney, author of A Matter of Life and Death
