Extended Bio:

Stephanie Chandler spent a decade in the fast-paced Silicon Valley in various roles including software sales, technical training, and technical support. When she developed an ulcer before her 30th birthday, she knew it was time for a complete lifestyle change.

In 2003, Stephanie fled corporate America and opened a 2,800 square-foot bookstore in Sacramento, CA. In the process of starting the business, she discovered a new passion: helping aspiring entrepreneurs realize there could be life after corporate America. In response, she launched BusinessInfoGuide.com, a directory of resources for entrepreneurs, and began writing books about small business marketing. (She sold the bookstore in 2007.)

Chandler is founder and CEO of Stephanie Chandler Enterprises, LLC, the parent company to Authority Publishing, a custom book publisher specializing in non-fiction books and social media marketing services.

She is also an author of several books:

She also leads the Sacramento Speakers Network, a group she started in 2006 with four people in a local Starbucks, which has grown to nearly 900 members with active monthly meetings. And if she wasn’t already busy enough, Stephanie also runs the Nonfiction Authors Network on LinkedIn. She is also a professional speaker averaging 20 to 25 speaking engagements per year, and a member of the National Speakers Association.

As a small business expert, Stephanie has worked with numerous corporate sponsors in various capacities including blogging, spokesperson work, social media events, webinars, and consulting.
