Laure Goode, "How to Be a Writer"
How do you convince an editor, agent, or gatekeeper that your idea is compelling, relevant, and deliverable? Join this free session with Stanford Public Humanities’ Laura Goode to find out! Using principles from the "Pitching and Publishing in Popular Media" course and Goode’s book PITCH CRAFT: The Writer’s Guide to Getting Agented, Published, and Paid, this 90-minute session will take a holistic approach to self-presentation that includes presenting yourself with confidence, optimizing your social media and web platform, networking effectively, writing outstanding queries and pitches, avoiding the slush pile, and most importantly, persevering through the inevitable self-doubt and rejection.
Cosponsored by the Calderwood seminars.
