Stop Networking. Start Belonging: How to Turn Conversations into Connection, and Build Your Career by Building Your Tribe with Sara Hardwick-Grintz

Success in publishing isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about becoming someone people remember, trust, and genuinely want to champion.

In this practical webinar, Sara Hardwick-Grintz, President of GIFT∙OLOGY, shares a proven relationship strategy for building a career through intentional generosity, meaningful follow-up, and authentic connection…not awkward, exhausting networking.

You'll learn how to:

• Build a simple relationship plan so the right people never fall through the cracks.
• Demonstrate value before asking for anything in return.
• Follow up in memorable ways that strengthen relationships instead of feeling transactional.
• Use handwritten notes, thoughtful gifting, and intentional touchpoints to stay top of mind.
• Turn connections + conversations into long-term advocates and champions for your work.

Whether you're connecting with agents, editors, educators, booksellers, librarians, or fellow creators, you'll leave with practical strategies you can implement immediately to build a network of relationships that continues to create opportunities for years to come.

Because your next opportunity is rarely found by networking harder; it's created by investing more intentionally in the people around you.
