The Business of Writing: workshop

Clarion West will hold a one-day workshop in Seattle on Sunday, December 2, on The Business of Writing.

Every writer needs to understand the business, not just the craft. We’re all responsible for our own careers, and today writers have more options than ever before. It’s an exciting, challenging, and potentially confusing landscape. That’s why I’m particularly jazzed that Clarion West can offer this workshop with experts from all sides of the writing/publishing equation. By attending, you get information, insight, and face time with editors, publishers and a writer all at the forefront of the business. Hear about the business from folks who are in it daily; get your questions answered; and come away with the big picture of the possibilities for all of us in the new publishing frontier.

Come join us!
