It’s hard enough to get words on the page—but then you have to get your work in front of agents, editors and readers. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, the process can be daunting, and the etiquette expectations opaque and confusing. In this session, we’ll talk about some of the critical principles of being a bold, respectful writer in the public sphere, both in-person and online. We’ll cover tips on how to read your work in front of others, network and pitch—and practice fearlessly getting yourself out there as a writer!
