WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND WRITERS CONFERENCES
WRITING CONFERENCES ARE EXTRAORDINARILY
VALUABLE .
AS WRITERS , WE WORK IN A CREATIVE FIELD AND WE CAN SIT AT A KEYBOARD AND WRITE A BOOK-- THAT ’ S A GIVEN .
BUT , WITHOUT TRAINING AND GUIDANCE , OUR PATH TO SUCCESSFUL PUBLISHING CAN BE FAR LONGER ( IF AT ALL ) THAN IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WITH OUTSIDE EXPERT HELP .
WE OPEN OURSELVES TO LEARNING BY TRIAL AND ERROR , WHICH CAN COST TIME , MONEY AND BE A REAL EGO BEATING .
