THE BOOK
Do you attend writing conferences and find yourself standing in the corner watching everyone else engaged in animated conversations? Or do you collect fifty business cards and never hear from the people you met again? Do you draw a blank when your editor asks you to submit testimonials? The key to networking is to understand how to network. Whether you are an introvert, extrovert, or ambivert, you can learn the simple rules for connecting with publishing professionals and building relationships where you help your contacts, and they help you throughout your career.
Building the Writer’s Network shows you how to use networking to connect with other writers, editors, agents and stay connected. Learn why introverts make great networkers and how extroverts can convert all those business cards they collect into relationships. Discover tools that help you become the person that everyone knows at the next conference you attend.
Do yourself a favor, spend this weekend with Building the Writer’s Network, and learn how helping other publishing professionals leads to your future success as an author.
