EVENTS
Taking the literary life into your own hands: An actionable retreat
Authors Chloé Caldwell and Alex Alberto just launched Scrappy Literary to help writers take the literary life into their own hands by finding unconventional approaches that work for them. There are two spots left at their retreat next week in Hudson, NY, from March 10 to 13.
This retreat combines all of the ways in which Chloé and Alex have taken the literary life into their own hands: by letting go of imposter syndrome, cold-emailing, using the backdoor, going rogue, tapping into their unused resources, DIY-ing publicity, and more. These three days in Hudson will be packed with actionable exercises done in real time, like hitting submit, stalking agents, organizing your lit shit, and crafting your action plan to map your literary life. We will alternate with talks that open the publishing black box: how each avenue works, including real numbers: advances, royalties, distribution, sales, and industry statistics.
