What Our Attendees Are Saying
"WOW! Just WOW! So amazingly well planned, prayed for, and powerful! A truly must-attend for any woman with a call on her life to speak or write. BRAVO!!!!"
Marnie Swedberg
Speaker | Collaborator | Coach
"I was in the process of a new book proposal and wanted to get some feedback from industry experts and bestselling authors. This was beyond my wildest imagination! I met with editors and got their feedback on how to make the proposal stronger before I ever pitch it. The worship, prayer time, and ministry was everything I needed to feel refreshed to keep writing. I can't recommend it more. I've gone to lots of conferences but this one was by far my favorite."

Dave Lambert

“I have attended other writing conferences, but this was the first time for Speak Up. It stood out in so many ways! The conference was highly organized, including the handouts in the binder. Impressive! And most of all, the Spirit was ever real & present! Wow! The staff on the stage & in classes & for appointments was surely led & anointed for such a time as this. Thank you! Thank you!”
