Orlando WordLab - Ready, Set, Publish! with Arielle Haughee

This is a writing workshop that meets on the 4th Wednesday of every month at the Winter Park Library. We focus on learning a new technique or method each month. A guest speaker will share a sample of their work and then give a writing prompt for everyone to follow.

We'll all write for 30 minutes, share our work with others, and receive helpful suggestions about what to improve. Bring your laptops, tablets, a notebook and pen, and a willingness to learn.

This month's class is Ready, Set, Publish! This introductory workshop with Arielle Haughee (Hoy), owner of the small press Orange Blossom Publishing, will lay the foundation for publishing success. We'll discuss the differences between traditional and indie publishing, working with editors, and even go into some book marketing tips. Leave with the knowledge of what to do after you type "The End."
