When writers think of publishing, they often picture a physical book, but there are many different ways to share shorter pieces, expand readership, and join the ranks of the “published.”
Participants will learn about various ways to see their words in “print” (virtually or on actual paper) and get an overview of the steps they can take right now to find readers who will enjoy their work. A printed handout will be available for all registrants.
