I'm Teaching a Workshop

A Writer’s Guide to Writing and Selling Your Book

Nov 21, 2024

Hello! I am here to tell you that I will be teaching a workshop during LANDSCAPES on December 1st from 11 a.m. CST to 12:30 p.m. CST. LANDSCAPES is a really special writing group for all genres facilitated by Cody Cook-Parrott and I feel really lucky to be teaching in this space.

This workshop is all about how I wrote, edited, published, and marketed my book, UNTIL TENDER. It is called A WRITER’S GUIDE TO WRITING & SELLING YOUR BOOK. If you’ve ever wanted to write a book, put it out in the world, or feel overwhelmed about how to get people to buy it, this is the workshop for you!

We’ll talk about:

Writing your book, embracing rejection, & obsessing over your favorite topics.
Finding submission opportunities, applying for residencies, & choosing the right publishing path for you.
Working with an editor, designing a cover, getting advanced praise, & planning a book tour.
Using social media and newsletters to connect authentically with readers and sell your books.

And use reflection questions and prompts to stay connected to your values and creative vision!

To attend, sign up for LANDSCAPES here for as low as $33/month. If you can’t attend on 12/1, there will be a recording available in the LANDSCAPES headquarters where you can access a bunch of other workshops from Ayana Zaire Cotton, Tamara Santibañez, Nic Antoinette, Jacqueline Suskin, and a BIPOC Writers Space facilitated by Brandi Cheyenne Harper.

There are also two co-working sessions per week and a bunch of cool channels to talk about poetry, nonfiction, queer writing, memoir, chronic illness, and a bunch of pep talks for when you’re feeling down. Books are being written! Projects are being completed! Workshops are being taught! Friends are being made!
