Developing Your Poetry Collection: From Concept to Publication

Saturday, January 23, 2021

1-3 PM (Eastern)

Live on Zoom

Before you get up in front of an audience and read from your book, both you and your manuscript go through various stages. The (sometimes ambiguous) stages Katerina has identified and would like to discuss are: conception, writing, compiling, editing, publishing and marketing. This workshop is designed to provide insights to the considerations and skills necessary to successfully complete each stage and move on to the next. Be ready to learn what to expect, and hear tips on how not to get stuck, how to recognize if you’re making progress, how to make sure you’re focusing on what you have control over, how to keep yourself motivated through all this, and more.
