Inside Tips for Your Writing Career
Tue, Apr 7, 2015 at 7pm
Go beyond your first book! Please join us at the UW April 7 for a writing career workshop from Laura Anne Gilman, elite editor and prolific author.
While Laura Anne interacts with audience questions as much as she sticks to a pre-set routine, she'll speak to these topics:
• The sky isn’t falling (any more than it ever was)
• “One book at a time” career planning (looking at the short term and the long run)
• Strengthening your core (support)
• Every writer – trad- or self-published – has to be a hybrid
• Your publisher isn’t your enemy (or your friend)
• Surviving past that second (third, fourth) book. . .
And looking ahead can make publishing your first book easier & achievable.
Laura Anne Gilman was executive editor at New American Library/Penguin before going freelance in 2003. She has since written twenty-four novels in several genres, including the 2009 Nebula Award-nominated Flesh and Fire, and the Seattle-based “Gin & Tonic” mysteries (as L.A. Kornetsky). Her next novel, Silver on the Road, will be published by Press/Simon & Schuster in October 2015. For more about Laura Anne, see her website at lauraannegilman.net
