Lee Ann Ward is a USA Today bestselling author represented by Terrie Wolf of A.K.A. Literary. She is the former Senior Editor of Champagne Books, a book coach, writing instructor, agent liaison, and has taught workshops at writers' conferences across the country. She’s the Founder and CEO of Writing Away Refuge, a one-of-a-kind writing organization that brings writers and agents together over Zoom, offering intimate one-on-one pitch sessions. WAR offers workshops, writing classes, a yearly first chapter contest, and one yearly in-person writers’ retreat in Gulf Shores, Alabama where writers network with our staff and literary agents in a cozy beach house setting. Our mission statement? Writing is such a personal journey, why should selling our work be so impersonal? We nourish writers in mind, soul, career, and body through intimate connections in the literary world and not the mundane, cookie-cutter conference scene. We live our vision and strive to keep the dream of traditional publishing alive.
