WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND WRITERS CONFERENCES
WRITING CONFERENCES ARE EXTRAORDINARILY
VALUABLE.
AS WRITERS, WE WORK IN A CREATIVE FIELD AND WE CAN SIT AT A KEYBOARD AND WRITE A BOOK-- THAT’ S A GIVEN.
BUT, WITHOUT TRAINING AND GUIDANCE, OUR PATH TO SUCCESSFUL PUBLISHING CAN BE FAR LONGER( IF AT ALL) THAN IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WITH OUTSIDE EXPERT HELP.
WE OPEN OURSELVES TO LEARNING BY TRIAL AND ERROR, WHICH CAN COST TIME, MONEY AND BE A REAL EGO BEATING.
