Writing doesn't have to be lonely

From Solo to Supported

A Writer's Guide to Finding Community

by Jessie L. Kwak (Author)

Our culture treats the artist toiling in solitude like a romantic idea, but that’s rarely how it happens in the real world. Writing doesn’t have to be isolating—art flourishes in community. If you know where to look, there’s a whole world of writers out there, waiting to connect. Jessie Kwak, author of From Chaos to Creativity, returns with a guide on networking and building your community, with clear and easy to follow advice. Learn how to create an elevator pitch, tips on reaching out (without being a creep), and how to navigate things like events, classes, workshops, and more.
