Get ready to reach your 2022 writing goals by crafting your very own writer's plan.
As a writer, it can be difficult to think about large overarching goals, whether it is to get your first draft done, polish and prepare your work for submission, or build your author network and brand. Writer's Plan is a course that turns these intimidating goals into four achievable blocks: the sustainability of the writer, engagement with an audience, publishing schedule, and craft and conference planning. With Queensland Writers Centre CEO Lori-Jay Ellis, learn how to be prepared for annual opportunities, competitions, and conferences, plan your online activity, build your audience engagement, and of course, keep on top of your writing! You will walk away with a clear, concise, and exciting view of your future writing life for the next twelve months.
