Courtney Maum is the author of five books, including the groundbreaking publishing guide that Vanity Fair recently named one of the ten best books for writers, BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL and the memoir THE YEAR OF THE HORSES, chosen by The Today Show as the best read for mental health awareness.
A writing coach, executive director of the nonprofit learning collaborative “The Cabins,” and educator, Courtney’s mission is to help people hold on to the joy of art-making in a culture obsessed with turning artists into brands. When she’s not helping writers to write better, she’s working on deepening her bond with her rescue racehorse, Abuelita. You can sign up for her newsletter and online masterclasses at CourtneyMaum.com.

Rebecca Yuhasz Smith is CEO and designer of Rebecca Ray Designs. She’s also a mom, a wife, a farm owner, and raises champion Percheron horses, English Setters, and Border Terriers.
Unimpressed with the available quality in even “luxury” handbags and totes, she decided to take matters into her own hands, and in 1997 launched Rebecca Ray Designs with bench-made bags produced by American multi-generational artisans on benches without electricity. (Yes, every bag is sewn without electricity, then and now.)
