Florianne Humphrey: How Journalists & Copywriters Can Become Authors
Wed 31 Jan 2024 5:30 PM GMT
Online, Zoom
Description
For many of us working within words, we love our jobs. But there's always been that slight niggle, the itch to see our words on paper in a different way — to become a published author.
In this brand-new workshop with author and copywriter Florianne Humphrey, we'll look at how journalists and copywriters can make the pivot and use their skills to get published. We'll cover:
- Florianne’s personal story from copywriter to author: how it started and how it’s going;
- How a career in copywriting/journalism overlaps with novel writing in terms of both skills and experience;
- The challenges of balancing a career in copywriting/journalism and novel writing, with advice on how to overcome or cope with these challenges;
- Why a background in copywriting/journalism can help to secure agent representation/publication;
- General advice on how to pivot from copywriting/journalism to novel writing — and why it’s possible to do both!
As with all our events, there will also be the chance to ask your own questions both live and in advance.
