Creating A Community of Writers (Nearby and Online)
A Talk by Erin Elizabeth Smith (Executive Director, Sundress Publications)
About this Talk
During my 20+ years as a small-press editor, I have learned much about the soliciting, editing, publishing, and promoting sides of the literary world, and I have found that there has been one constant to the folks whose books sell best--strong literary citizenship.
Whether it's promoting others' work on social media, writing book reviews, attending readings, or working with presses and literary journals, giving back to the community is rewarding in numerous ways. In this discussion, we'll be talking about ways that you can excel at being a good literary citizen and how that can help to further your network of readers and supporters.
