Living a writers life comes with challenges–uncertainty, isolation, and loneliness to name just a few. What does it mean to have a writers life? How do you make a life–and a living–as a writer?
At our quarterly Writers Life Lunches, you’ll connect with other writers, get the answers to these questions, as well as figure out what it means to be a writer and how to make the life of one work for you.
At Writers Life Lunches, we’ll shine a light on the writing life, exposing its secrets and illuminating a path forward.
Each quarter, we’ll focus on a different topic related to the vocation of being a writer, such as:
-Literary agents: what they do and how to find one that’s right for you.
-Publishing paths: Traditional or indie/self–the ins and outs, the pros and cons, of each.
-Writing residencies, grants, and fellowships: how to find them and get them.
-Social media marketing: leveraging what you already like to do online to advance your writing career.
-Sending yourself out on submission: how to find the markets that are right for you.
Guided by Wordcrafters’ Jeaux Bartlett, a professional writer with more than two decades of experience, we’ll find solutions–and camaraderie–to help you continue on with your chosen vocation of putting words on the page.
Cost: Pay From Your Heart, $19-$29
