Exceptional Women in Publishing
nonprofit organization
Exceptional Women in Publishing (EWIP) is a non-profit organization formerly known as Women in Periodical Publishing (WIPP). EWIP's goal is to help women in publishing support each other, develop leadership skills, and balance professional and personal interests. EWIP's programs are meant to foster growth for smaller, independent publications by and for women and to offer a range of community building and professional development programs through its gatherings, online communications, advocacy, mentoring and research.
EWIP mission is dual: to educate, empower and support women in publishing and to educate, empower and support women through the power of publishing. It does this through its Women's Leadership Conference, its annual Exceptional Woman in Publishing award, and its bi-monthly newsletter, EWIP Wired.
Background
EWIP is run entirely by volunteers. Its membership comprises women from all areas of publishing as opposed to strictly editorial, business, sales, or production. Its volunteer board meets monthly via teleconference and annually at the Women's Leadership Conference. Each board member works with volunteer committees on events, programs, awards, mentoring, and other EWIP activities.
EWIP builds its membership through regional events, social networking and the annual Women's Leadership Conference.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Exceptional Women in Publishing” as nonprofit organization. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as nonprofit organization. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5419503. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
