In an era where writing a book is only the beginning of an author’s journey, two powerhouse media creators are stepping up to solve one of the creative industry’s greatest challenges: true, scalable visibility.
Deb Drummond, founder of Mission Accepted Media and owner of The Women’s Channel, alongside Melissa Heathers, Executive Producer of The Book Crawl, have officially announced The Authors & Book Lovers Visibility Forum. This high-impact, virtual event will take place streaming live on Zoom on Thursday, June 25th, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM PST.
Designed as a collaborative ecosystem, the forum aims to transition authors from the quiet space of the shelf to major media screens, global stages, and dynamic public conversations. The ultimate goal is simple but profound: to turn books into active leadership movements.
Amplifying Women and Global Thought Leaders
As the proud owner of The Women’s Channel—a rapidly expanding digital broadcasting platform where women and their allies are seen by millions—Deb Drummond is channeling her network’s massive reach directly into the literary world. For Drummond, this forum is a natural extension of her life’s work.
“Writing a book is an act of courage, but without a platform, even the most transformative stories can stay hidden,” says Deb Drummond. “Through The Women’s Channel, we’ve built an environment where female leaders and boundary-pushing creatives don’t just get a footnote—they get the spotlight. This forum is about taking these incredible authors, giving them international stage space, and connecting them directly with audiences who need their expertise to uplevel their own lives and businesses.”
Drummond, an 11-time international bestselling author herself, is widely known for orchestrating high-profile red carpet events and building extensive multimedia platforms—including podcasts, radio, and television—for entrepreneurs, creatives, and “ultrapreneurs.”
Co-host Melissa Heathers, author of the internationally recognized book Dear Ego, Dear Heart, brings her unique expertise from The Book Crawl. Together, the duo bridges the gap between summits and storytelling, transforming standard book promotions into full-scale multimedia presences.
What Attendees Can Expect
The virtual forum is structured as a full day of personal development, business strategy, and networking. Rather than traditional, rigid lectures, the event functions as a dynamic community exchange featuring a diverse roster of curated authors speaking on high-level growth topics.
- Massive Attendee Value: Every single participant will receive a curated “Chat-Bag Swag-Bag” alongside free downloadable gifts from every featured speaker.
- High-Stakes Giveaways: Over $10,000 worth of active prizes will be awarded live throughout the duration of the broadcast.
