What I will be talking about: Sharing a manuscript and asking for feedback can be daunting, but when you have the right beta readers, you can gain insights that will help you improve your manuscript exponentially. This stage of revision allows you to learn where your story can improve, what you are doing well, and if your manuscript is coming across the way you intended.

This class is a deep dive into everything you want to know about beta readers.

What I will be talking about: A sustainable writing career requires more than good writing, it requires an understanding of the industry and a consistent investment of time in your writing business. This workshop lays a foundation of effective, sustainable, long-term business practices for writers. Author coach Jessica Conoley will discuss an Authorpreneur’s mindset, time-blocking & marketing efficiently, & business basics like: book-keeping, when to look at setting up a business structure (i.e. LLC, corporation, etc.), & finding the right business partners.

How to join me: For non-members contact CIWA. For CIWA members I’ll see you at your June meeting!

What I will be talking about: You’re lucky enough to know what your dream is and are living it, so why are so many writers unhappy? It’s not just because we’re in a “hard” industry, it’s because we feel like we don’t have any control. This workshop teaches you to build a healthy creative mindset. We’ll delve into the mental challenges you’ll face in a creative career and how to take your next steps with confidence. Walk away with: a mindset emergency tool kit, career accomplishment log, know-how to build your creativity support triangle, and more.
