Lessons From a (Probably Should Be) Committed Writer is a webinar, on Tuesday, October 5 at 7 pm, for would-be-writers with national writing contest winner Elizabeth B. Splaine.
Infused with personal experience and humor, Elizabeth provides a fun, safe atmosphere in which would-be and early writers feel comfortable asking questions and become inspired to put fingers to keyboard in pursuit of their writing dreams.
It will cover the following:
- Write — learn the importance of understanding why and for whom you write, as well as the importance of discipline and wordplay.
- Publish — learn about accepting criticism, editing, contract negotiations, and self versus traditional publishing.
- Market — learn to appreciate the role of social media and a publicist, the importance of "getting out there," and learn how to create a larger market audience.
