How do you know when you’re ready to publish? 
10 questions every woman writer should be able to answer - from $45
with Jan Phillips
Our writing has its own narrative arc—it starts with a tiny thought, then travels from mind t o heart to page to the people. Our words matter. Stories can change a life, a culture. We are both the creators and shepherds of our projects. The more we understand the power of our words, the purpose of our stories, the more passion will we invest in their birth and life. This workshop deals with both the yin and yang of that process: the intuitive, interior creative side and the logical, external marketing side. We will cover both the WHY-TO and the HOW-TO of our craft, since it is the fusion of both that leads to success. Bring  your creativity to a new level, sharpen your focus and voice, and learn what it takes to get your words in print.


Some of the areas we'll cover include:

• Seeing the whole picture of your project from inspiration to publication

• Five elements of a winning book proposal

• Understanding and growing your audience

 Finding your voice and trusting its authority no matter what you’re writing 

 Wrestling with the publish/self-publish/do I need an agent conundrums

 Using every avenue for creating your platform and expanding your creative reach
