Mindset Shift: Set Yourself Up for Writing Success from Pipeline Artists - Symposium on Vimeo.

The beginning of a new year is a great time for authors to set goals: you may want to start (or finish) a draft, find a literary agent, or get published. With goal-setting, of course, comes fear and doubt and resistance. Not to mention the fact outcomes can rely heavily on market conditions, industry trends, and individual agent or editor preferences—all of which are beyond your control. 

In this session, Amy Goldmacher will take you through an interactive process that will give you tools to: 

• Clearly set—and achieve—tangible goals for the year.
• Increase your creative confidence.
• Normalize the writer’s rollercoaster of emotions.
• Identify and manage resistance when it inevitably comes up.
• In-session, interactive exercises.

You’ll leave with practical techniques and resources you can use immediately, along with the mindset shifts for writing success, to reach your literary aspirations in 2023 and beyond.

SPECIAL OFFER: All registrants to this event will receive a free entry to ANY Script or Book Pipeline competition. Consider it motivation to set your first goal of 2023—getting your work out there. A discount code will be shared in the post-event recording email.
