The publishing world is fueled by creativity — and often sustained by burnout.
At the Women in Publishing Summit 2026, I’ll be joining a panel conversation focused on burnout in the publishing industry: how it shows up, why it’s so normalized, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable creative career without sacrificing mental health, boundaries, or identity.
This panel will explore the unique pressures faced by authors and publishing professionals — including hustle culture, visibility demands, comparison, rejection, and the emotional labor baked into creative work — and offer grounded, honest conversation about what has to change.
If you work in publishing (or hope to), this Summit offers education, connection, and community designed to support you for the long haul.

Why I’m Sharing This
Burnout in publishing isn’t a personal failure — it’s a systemic issue.
I’m honored to be part of this Summit because it creates space for real conversations about sustainability, boundaries, and mental health in creative work — not just productivity and performance.
If this industry is part of your world, I’d love for you to be there.
