Publishing: The Basics (webinar)

Sometimes we write for ourselves, sometimes for a wider audience. At this 2-hour webinar, you’ll learn how to approach that broader audience. With the support of published writers, you’ll learn:

the vocabulary of international publishing;
how to know when to call a piece finished;
how to find the right outlets for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry;
how to pitch/submit work.

You’ll leave this webinar with a Publishing Starter Kit and a clear starting point for getting your work out there.

Presenters:

Marissa Higgins—Journalist, Novelist, and Staff Writer for the DailyKos

Rishi Dastidar—Poet and Writer, UK

Moderator—Lisa Friedman, Amsterdam Writing Workshops

What people are saying about this workshop

“[I was hoping] this webinar would offer me the necessary information I was looking for; I was not disappointed. Previously, I attended four different online courses on fiction, none of which offered as much information on publishing. In short, this webinar was worth a great deal to me.”

“This webinar was a perfect introduction to the topic of publishing.”

Yuven, July 9, 2021

“I thought the information on how to pitch, how to set and keep boundaries, and timing one’s pitch, were particularly useful. [This workshop] helped me realize that it is good for writers to understand their rights, and what they can and can’t ask for.”

Mieke, July 9, 2021

“This workshop broadened my sense of the writing community and boosted my confidence. It’s always a highlight to see the familiar faces who are part of the Amsterdam Writing Workshops community.”
