Social Media 101 Teleclass for Writers
|
|
|
We are living in a moment of creative opportunity, where we are learning new skills, letting go of publishing norms, and encouraging meaningful relationships with our readers.
Prospective agents, editors, and readers form impressions about you from blogs, forums, profiles, twitter, facebook, and other social media applications. Confident writers understand what these applications are and how to use them in productive conversations with publishing professionals.
|
Whether your goal is to place your manuscript with an agent or publisher, or to self publish, you must plan how you will showcase your writing talent with the right use of social media tools.
This six-week teleclass is a gentle introduction designed to facilitate your learning in a supportive, stimulating environment. It is a live conference call where you can interact with all of the participants. After you register for the teleclass, you will receive the phone number and access code.
