SUMMARY:You Are What You Write
DESCRIPTION:You Are What You Write: How to Create Your Author Brand and Build Your Platform with Publishing Credits. \nThat dreaded word: platform. But platform isn’t just social media—it’s everything you put out into the world\, including the short pieces you publish while you’re querying agents\, finding your publisher\, and waiting for your book to hit the shelves. Platform is making your name mean something to readers. In this Submitting 101 session\, we’ll talk about the importance of publishing short stories and essays to build a portfolio of publishing credentials\, create your author brand\, find your ideal readers\, establish a loyal fan base\, and shape your platform as a writer. We’ll learn how to research markets\, how to submit your work\, and how to distinguish yourself in an already crowded marketplace. \nPlease join me at the Central Coast Writers Conference on Saturday\, September 27th\, for this session on submitting short stories and essays to literary journals to build your writing resume\, your author brand\, and your platform.  Time TBA. For details about the conference and to register\, visit cuesta.edu/writers-conference.

SUMMARY:Show Me the Money
DESCRIPTION:Show Me the Money: Funding Your Writing Career with Grants\, Fellowships\, and Residencies. \nLet’s face it\, not everyone can afford to write full-time\, to travel for research\, or to spend a summer at Walden Pond writing while your friends and family bring you dinner and donuts. It’s hard enough to find a room of one’s own\, let alone to find the time off work and the peace and quiet to write. But there is money out there for writers who are working on long-term projects. In this session\, I’ll show you how to research and apply for cash money that will give you the time to write and the funds you need for research\, as well as opportunities to focus on your writing in peaceful and idyllic settings\, to share your writing with others\, and to support your work while you grow your writing career. \nAre you looking for a boost in the form in the time\, the solitude\, and/or the money to write? Please join me at the Central Coast Writers Conference on Saturday\, September 27th\, where I’ll teach a session on applying for writer grants\, fellowships\, and residencies.  Time TBA. For details about the conference and to register\, visit cuesta.edu/writers-conference.

SUMMARY:It Takes a Village
DESCRIPTION:It Takes a Village: How to Create Your Writing Life and Build Your Writing Career by Finding Your Tribe \nWriting is a solitary pursuit\, but coming out of the shadows to find your writing community is worthwhile. It offers social\, health\, and career benefits. Having a group of writer friends in your corner is more crucial to your success than you might think\, especially as the burden of marketing shifts more and more to the writers themselves. They say it’s who you know\, and the relationships you build by networking\, joining writing organizations\, and volunteering can result in better bylines\, bigger opportunities\, camaraderie\, and lifelong friendships with other writers. Join us for this conversation by a panel of writers about how we found our writing families\, how putting ourselves out there has improved our writing careers\, and what we mean when we talk about literary citizenship. \nPlease join me\, Brenna Humphreys\, and M. Golda Turner for a panel discussion at the Central Coast Writers Conference on September 26th & 27th. We’ll talk about literary citizenship and why it’s not only good for your heart but for your writing career. Day and time TBA. For details about the conference and to register\, visit cuesta.edu/writers-conference.
