The Business of Writing Workshop Series:
This workshop series will consist of four 90-minute workshops held every Wednesday from June 30 to July 21. The purpose is to speak to the various aspects of working as a freelance writer or editor, allowing writers and editors to come together to share experiences and learn how to best manage their careers and find a space for their work.
Each workshop will be facilitated by Jessica Antony, a Winnipeg-based writer, editor, and educator. Jessica will lead participants through discussions around how to get your work published, how to get paid as a freelance writer or editor, and the nature of working as and with a copyeditor and copywriter.
These workshops are suited for those interested in working for themselves, new writers who are curious about how to get their work out into the world, or those interested in freelancing as more than just a hobby. The goal is for participants to connect with other writers and editors to share ideas and experiences and learn how to make the business of writing work for you.
