Last week's webinar about foreshadowing brought home a truth to a lot of attendees. Namely that we may be doing something intuitively but it's infinitely worth understanding what it is, why we're doing it, and how to do it purposefully. I think that's a truth that will resonate at our webinar tomorrow. Join us to get clear on exactly what you want from your author career. Design a Writing Career That Fits
Stop squeezing your writing life into someone else’s job description. Write Your Role: Job Crafting for Authors shows you how to design a career that fits you—so you can create more, stress less, and stay inspired for the long run. In this friendly, practical session, we turn research from Dr. Marla J. Albertie and the JD-R model into simple moves you can use right away. You’ll learn to: - Rework what you do (task crafting): shape your projects, routines, and deadlines to match your strengths.
- Reframe how you see your work (cognitive crafting): reconnect with purpose and motivation.
- Refresh who you work with (relational crafting): build the right collaborations and boundaries.
Perfect for writers at any stage, across genres. Come for the science-backed strategies, leave with a writing life that finally feels like yours.
