Meet Our Incredible Speakers
Ashley is the founder and CEO of de Tello Publishing, a company born out of her passion for the power of words. With a background in international relations, economics, and political science, she thrives on making difficult topics easy to understand and even fun to read about. She has built a team of amazing writers and editors who love doing the same, helping business owners and other aspiring authors to bring their books to life and turn their ideas into profitably published masterpieces.
As an author of both romantic comedy and historical romance novels, Becca Wilhite is both traditionally and self-published. She has graciously agreed to come for the whole retreat, so attendees will not only get to hear her keynote address on how to craft a good story but she will also give us an inside look at the pros and cons of traditional vs. self-publishing and share all her tips and tricks for how to go beyond book one to write and profitably publish multiple books.
Becca loves hiking, Broadway shows, rainstorms, food, forests, books, and movies. She lives in the mountains and adores the ocean, and dreams of travel but loves staying home. Happiness is dabbling in lots of creative activities, afternoon naps, and cheese. All the cheese. You can find her at beccawilhite.com.
Carole has published multiple novels. Besides writing, she loves the great outdoors and spends her time roaming the hills and mountains in Northern Utah, making pottery, and enjoying life with her husband of 30-plus years.
She and her husband taught school in a K-10 two-room school with 24 students in the small town of Grouse Creek. The nearest grocery store was sixty miles away and most of the road was dirt and windy (still is). Much of her writing was inspired by the six years she spent living there. Now, she lives in Cache Valley, Utah.
