Description:
So many of us think, dream, plan to write a book… someday. What’s stopping you?
Join us on APRIL 20 to hear from two busy people who actually took the leap and
wrote their books! Let us help you get started.
During this conversation, moderated by someone who’s worked with authors for years, you’ll hear why these writers delayed as long as they did. (The reasons may sound very familiar:) The authors will share tips on moving those ideas from your head onto a page.
What we’ll cover:
-I couldn’t start the book, because…
-The trigger to begin the book and tips for you
-How to decide the focus of your book.
-What to expect as you’re writing a book: the practical, logistical, psychological challenges most writers face.
-Tips on dealing with common challenges, including the question “How’s the book coming?”
All are welcome, wherever you are in your writing journey! Writers of any gender and whether it’s fiction or nonfiction you’re writing or plan to write. If you’ve published and have helpful info to succinctly* offer, there will be time in the program for community members to share their tips.
*Please offer your tip/suggestion in two minutes or less.
