I’m part of the Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society’s Get Lit mini-writer con this weekend. If you’re in Calgary, check it out!
What’s it about?
How does one go from writer to published author? In this full-day mini conference, we will look at the writer’s life from idea to publication and how to get your work noticed. Whether you plan to go the traditional route, or self-publish, the journey is mostly the same. From the first word, to engaging your community of peers for support and encouragement, to staying on track and dealing with rejection in all forms, resilience will get you to the finish line.
Highlights
I’m part of this panel:
On Publishing – Traditional vs Small Press vs Self-Publish Bradley Somer | Jodi McIsaac | Kelly Kaur | M. Jane Colette Join all our presenters for an open discussion on all things publishing. Learn tips and tricks from the front lines and decide which route is the best for you.
And I’m giving a special, short version of the Organized Creative workshop — especially for pantsters and procrastinators.
Writer. Reader. Angster. Reformed Bohemian (not). Author of the erotic romance TELL ME, the erotic tragedy (with a happy ending) CONSEQUENCES (of defensive adultery), the award-winning rom-com (she's versatile) CHERRY PIE CURE, and TEXT ME, CUPID--a (slightly dirty) love story for 21st century adults who don't believe in love... but want it anyway. A sought-after speaker and presenter, Colette is also the author of the Dirty Writing Secrets Series, which includes the non-fiction collection of essays ROUGH DRAFT CONFESSIONS: not a guide to writing and selling erotica and romance but full of inside inside anyway, 101 FLIRTY WRITING PROMPTS TO SEDUCE YOUR MUSE, and ORGANIZED CREATIVE. She's also the curator of the fab YYC Queer Writers anthologies Queer Christmas in Cowtown, Screw Chocolate, and A Queer Summer Night's in Cowtown. Releasing Spring 2020: CUPID IN MONTE CARLO.
