“Many thanks for your candidness in the seminar and for the business perspective you provided. I think, especially for an all woman audience, that we have to learn all we can on the business side of the house, specifically financial terms. Even with my background in the high-tech industry, I was treating the writing side of my life as just ‘art,’ my passion and not so much the way I’ve diligently managed my corporate career. Now I realize a little of the hard skills I’ve picked up in the corporate world, will bode well for me in the future as a writer. So this seminar really helped me understand the work/investment I must make to own my writing career.”--Frankie Mossman, grand-prize winner of the Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Award for her short story, “The Bunker”
