What the MFA Won’t Teach: Administrative Aspects of Writing for 21st Century Writers | Led by Namrata Poddar

This workshop will cover the many and often-invisible forms of writing “early career” or “emerging writers” undertake in the 21st century, in an increasingly digital age, as they balance their creative labor on the page with the market forces and structural inequities of American and global publishing. Topics will include organic pathways to creating and sustaining an author platform, nurturing an author voice and online presence, launching a book, literary citizenship, community building, and financial sustainability for writers, especially those who don’t come from generational wealth. This course will be especially useful for writers working on or about to publish their first book, for writers of the global majority and those among the first to pursue liberal or fine arts in their families, and for those who are trying to pay some of their bills while doing what they love.
