Networking is hard (for most of us). It is also utterly necessary to saving time, unleashing opportunities and staying informed. Even in a profession as solitary as writing, who you know and how you engage within the author community can influence your career as much as your work itself.

This workshop will give concrete examples of how networking can pay dividends for authors. It will offer practical advice for planning your networking year. It will suggest strategies for transcending social anxiety and navigating professional networks, even if you’re an introvert or a misanthrope. Most importantly, it will show you how to multiply the return on effort you’re putting into your author career and share tips and trips to make networking fun.

This workshop will be given at 3PM PST/6PM EST on Wednesday, August 4 2021. This is an exclusive workshop being given for the 2021 RSJ Virtual Convention. You can sign up for the convention right here.
