Attention all those of you writing a book…<\/p>\n
In this age of the social author, those writing for broader audiences need to see themselves as disseminators of spreadable messages and sticky ideas. But how do we best position ourselves as substantive public spokespeople? What do editors really<\/i> mean when they say \u201cplatform,\u201d and how can serious writers, often more focused on content than sell, tell (and sell) the story of our expertise? How does one craft an authentic<\/em> public identity by connecting connect story, self, and idea?<\/p>\n These are some of the questions we’ll be tackling in a 3-week webinar series I’m leading at She Writes, Thought Leadership for Writers!<\/strong> on Oct 1, 8, 15 @4pmPT\/7pmET. Special guests Susan Cain (bestselling author of Quiet<\/em>) and Christina Baker Kline (bestselling author of myriad works of nonfiction and fiction) will join me, and She Writes Press publisher Brooke Warner will be hosting. Here’s a taste, from the free sample I offered last week. The full-fledged description is below. I hope some GWP and TSP readers will join me. And thanks, too, for passing it along.<\/p>\n
