UNB Writer in Residence Phoebe Wang

Cost: $25/person
Where: Online
When: Saturday, January 22, 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Whether you are an emerging writer or one with several publications, this workshop will help you to identify your publishing goals, whether it be publishing in literary magazines, finding a book publisher, self-publishing, or working to shift the publishing industry. We’ll be exploring how publishing can align with your long-term goals as writer and creator. You’ll gain a more intuitive sense of how to pitch and propose unique projects, how to work and collaborate with editors, how to build your audience and community, and how you can contribute to equity and diversity. We’ll also discuss barriers to publishing, overcoming anxiety and rejection, and the challenges and benefits of publishing in the unique literary landscape of the Maritimes. The workshop will be accompanied by a question and answer period and attendees will also receive resources and workshop materials.
