Aspiring Non-Fiction Writers Workshop: How to get your ideas into print: Video Course
Have you thought about writing an article, a book or creating a blog to express your ideas? Many helping professionals have – whether it is to share their knowledge or own growth experiences, express their professional ideas, or enhance their professional standing. However, as you may have already found out, there can be a big gap between thinking about writing and actually writing. This webinar, led by an editor-author team with decades of mental health publishing experience, will provide the bridge that will help you to get from thinking to doing.
