Career Launch Intensive with Ronald L. Smith
Building a Career in Writing – Ron will dissect his journey into authorship, encouraging attendees to explore and analyze their own career path. Topics include:
- Why write for kids? Your journey as an author, dealing with internal barriers (self-doubt, motivation, permission to create, practical methods of time management, etc)
- Marketability vs. creativity
- Cultural considerations (who should write which stories, with regards to underrepresented characters)
- Processes for a writing career: do you follow a regular schedule? How do you balance creative practice with the sometimes arduous work of writing? What resources/mentor texts do you use regularly?
Attendees will have the opportunity to set an informed intention for their path forward.
Prerequisite: For any writers looking for encouragement and advice for building and maintaining a career in publishing.
