June 6 – You Can Be a Winning Writer: the 4 C’s of Successful Authors w/Joan Gelfand

By Admin

The 4 C’s of Successful Authors: Craft, Commitment, Community and Confidence

Not all writing careers are created equal. Why are some authors quickly catapulted to publishing success while other authors languish? Learn the secrets of how to become a successful author.

In this class, you will learn how to make the 4 C’s approach work for you.

During this workshop, Joan will discuss:

  • your writing challenges
  • how to put together a winning book proposal
  • the difference between a non-fiction and a fiction proposal
  • cover letters
  • finding the right agent (or publisher)
  • what to do once your book is published

Join us on June 6 at Noon for a fun, interactive session.

Where: Zoom  (link provided via email – RSVP below)
