Our first event of this series brings you In the Room with Rachel Schneider — the South Louisiana author whose debut fantasy romance series took off practically overnight. If you were at this year's Women's Leadership Conference, you already know the energy she brings. Now imagine having that conversation up close.
This is your chance to sit across the table from a woman who trusted her voice, built something entirely her own, and watched it connect with people faster than she ever imagined — and to hear the story behind the story.
This event is open to LPCC members and member businesses only. Registration required. Seating is limited.

Rachel Schneider really needs no introduction, but here we go.
Rachel is the South Louisiana author whose fantasy romance series has taken off practically overnight, pulling readers into worlds full of magic, twists, and just the right amount of heat. Based in Watson, she's a proud wife and mom who writes wherever her imagination leads her. When she's not chasing a plot twist, you'll find her cheering at a hockey game or unwinding with a good book and a bubble bath.
As a speaker, Rachel brings the same boldness that fuels her fiction: the courage to build something entirely her own, trust her voice, and watch it resonate faster than she ever imagined. Her story is proof that owning your narrative, in life or on the page, is where the magic starts.
This time, we're going deeper. In the Room is your chance to step inside Rachel's mind and hear what it really took to go from an idea to a series readers can't put down. We'll talk about where she started, how her life has changed since the books took off, and what she's learned along the way about taking a leap, trusting herself, and building something from scratch. Of course, we'll get a peek into the world she created too.
Bring your questions, and if you're already a fan, bring your books.
