Taking the Next Step with Cecil Foster

Taking the Next Step: Finding Self-Confidence as a Writer with Cecil Foster

So, you think you have an idea for a book, but you wonder who would want to read it. Or maybe you’ve finished the manuscript but now have the darn thing hidden away. What do you do next?

This workshop will encourage participants to explore how to push through doubt and commit to doing the work needed to finish a manuscript. Participants will learn how to move their project forward, to find the confidence to want to be published, and to open themselves and their work to criticism and feedback with the ultimate goal of being published. Writers write to be read, and confidence is required in order to put oneself and one’s work out into the world.

 Target audience: Unpublished writers who yearn to be published but might not have the self-confidence to share what they have written.

Attendees should bring: Participants should bring synopsis of manuscripts or idea proposals. They should also bring minds open to critical dialogue.
