FLOURISH MEDIA - BEHIND THE LEAF
PUBLISHER, BOOK FAIR FOR WOMEN AUTHORS
Hi! We are the team behind Vivian Olodun, LLC, Flourish Media, and Behind the Leaf 501c3. Our goal is to bring educational experiences to women all over the world helping them with entrepreneurial endeavors.
For the last 3 years we have hosted the Flourish Media Conference In Miami Florida. What we found was, that's just not enough! Our audience wants more! Our audience needs more! And that’s how PublishHER was birthed. Out of a desire to offer more resources to our tribe. PublisHER is the first ever traveling to the book fair for self-published authors.
Stumble & Bubble is a signature event to celebrate the first full year of PublisHER. It’s 100% free to attend, and the value you will share is priceless! At each PublisHER event, we have a panel - like the one you’re giving - to share insider details of about your path to being published.
You’ve been given a copy of Vivian Olodun’s debut book STUMBLING THROUGH ADULTHOOD. Here are some of the questions you can expect during the panel:
STA has five sections of collective stories, which section or story resonated with you?
STA addresses provocative and some would say taboo themes, what are some themes you struggled with addressing your storytelling?
STA talks about navigating relationships what are some lessons you’ve learn to set healthy boundaries?
How do you use journaling in your life?
Where are you in the publishing process?
How can we get more from you and support your brand?
Not only do you get the chance to network with other authors, share your stories, and share your brand. PublisHER also gives you the chance to learn, first hand, about the publishing process from participants and attendees!
