Are You a Specialist or a Generalist?
Evaluating Your Skill Set to Survive in Today's Publishing Environment
by Christina Katz (60 minutes)
What are your skill sets as a writer, and how do you evaluate them? How do you decide whether to specialize or generalize? You need to establish a strong direction for your development as a writer to survive in the changing times of publishing. All registrants will be asked to take a pre-quiz called "What's Your Specialty?"
This live event will offer:
* Tips and paths for both specialists and generalists, and how to get started
* How to combine a specialist and generalist approach
* Examples of writers' websites (both specialist and generalist)
* Opportunity to ask Christina Katz your questions about platform development
Bonus: All attendees receive a copy of Get Known Before the Book Deal by Christina Katz.
