Are you heading in the direction you want with your writing?
This workshop is aimed at writers with some experience and provides a structured opportunity for you to explore where you want to get to professionally and start planning your next steps. Using exercises from literaturetraining’s
DIY guide to professional development planning, you’ll be able to reflect on
what you’ve achieved so far professionally and what you want to achieve;
think about what motivates you and all the skills and strengths you already
have; consider resources that could help you to move forward; and explore
strategies for overcoming possible obstacles. Finally, you’ll start to create a plan of action to achieve your goals. If you are at a point of change and interested in exploring other directions or simply want to take stock, then this is the workshop for you.
