Muse & the Marketplace 2019

There isn't a writer-- living or dead-- who hasn't faced rejection at some point in their career. As artists, we know it’s just part of the process. And as much as it stings to hear “no” about your dazzling idea or must-be-told story, rejection can also be valuable in helping to focus your work, drill down to the true essence of your vision, and unearth something golden, new, and wholly innovative.

This presentation will give writers actionable tips and practical tools for how to shape rejection, constructive criticism, and instructive notes about their work into the fuel that drives their writing to the next level. Turn that “nice no” into a resounding yes!
