Sp84E So You Want to be a Writer? (Zoom; OLLI @ U of A)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
Have you ever, like many of us, found yourself wanting to be an author? Join our discussion as we begin with your initial idea and follow various routes to publication. We will consider many different genres and formats (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, textbook, technical, essays…). By the end of our interactive session, you will have the tools to research your idea and transform it into words. Hopefully, you will then be prepared for the hard part: getting your work published. We will discuss various avenues to do so, and the challenges associated with each. We will also consider different avenues to market your work. Bring your ideas, your problems, and your enthusiasm to write!
