How to Turn Your Writing into a Business

There’s more to writing than craft. Successful authors know their business.

Join us from the comfort of your home on September 22, 2018 at 11:00 am (ET) to learn the basics of how to run a writing business.

Writers who treat their craft like a well-tooled company are far more successful than those who treat writing like a hobby.

In this webinar, we will be talking about the basics you need to know to effectively run a writing business.

Accounting, taxes, marketing, promotion, sales, distribution, and legal endeavors are all important things you need to consider. But it doesn’t have to be intimidating.

Rick Bettencourt, Vice President of Finance for the Florida Writers Association, and Keith Ogorek, President of Author Learning Center, will host this fun, knowledge building session. It’s must-have info if you’re considering a career as a writer.

In How to Run a Writing Business, you’ll learn about:

  • Ownership of your content
  • Using pen names
  • Contracts and publication rights
  • LLCs vs. individual taxation
  • Marketing strategies
  • Distribution options
  • Developing other revenue opportunities
  • and more!

The webinar will include a sneak peek into this October’s conference where Keith will be presenting an expansion of this material. If you can’t make our 2018 conference, this is a cost-effective way to learn some invaluable information. (And even if you are going, you might not be able to attend every workshop. This is a great way to leverage your time.)

The webinar will be recorded live starting at 11:00 am on September 22, 2018. However, if you can’t make it, sign up as we’ll be sending a recording to all participants. Or if you’re reading this blog post after the date, we’ll send you the recording if you register below.
