Praxis and Practicalities (What Every Writer Needs to Know) - Presenting Yourself on the Page Webinar
Are you stymied by every request for a bio, literary CV or brief description of your work? Does applying for a writing grant feel like swimming across a stormy ocean? Do you agree that writing an entire book is easier than crafting the blurb for its back cover? This workshop will offer approaches and examples to help you position yourself and your writing in effective, authentic ways.
