In Chase Your Dreams as a Writer: Bridging the Gap Between Hobby and Professional Writing I aim to bridge that seemingly terrifying and mysterious gap between being a hobby level creative writer to a professional and published creative writer (hint: it’s much easier than you think).

What you will learn:

Setting up your workspace
Rewiring your mindset for confidence
Recognising and defining goals
Creating and curating an online portfolio
Submitting to literary bodies for publication
Preparing a book for submission for publication
Accepting rejection as a part of the process

Including:

Template examples for online portfolios
A template for submission to literary bodies
A template for submission to literary agents

Why you should take this class:

If you're looking to take the next step from hobby level writing to professional writing, you must first define the goals to recognise these steps. This class helps break down this process and offers industry insight as to how to achieve these goals via these newly defined steps.

Who this class is for:

This class is for creative writers interested in exploring professional writing opportunities and further establishing their hobbies into a potential career. Thus, we will focus less on the creative process and act of creation itself and more on what to do with these creations, because I presume if you’re looking for advice when it comes to pushing your art out into the world that you already have some art banked up behind you. In saying that, this is an accessible class for writers of many backgrounds with varying degrees of experience.
