Networking for Writers is a practical, guided workbook to help you create, strengthen or revamp your current network—whether that’s because your current network is not the supportive community you need, or you haven’t found your community yet, or because the hoped-for income, sales, and opportunities that a network can provide hasn’t shown up the way you expected them to. It’s also a book for those looking to create a self-publishing team they can work with and rely on now, and in the future.

If you’re a well-established writer, chances are that you’ve built a publishing network that’s meeting your basic needs, and that’s good! But it's easy to go beyond that and turn your network into something rich and dynamic—with resources and opportunities, with strong and meaningful contacts that will help you boost your exposure, credibility, and sales.

This book will help you create a networking practice that works for you—one that incorporates your goals, your communication style, the activities you enjoy, and the tools and resources that are available to you today. If you intend to be profitable and make a living off your writing, then organizing your thoughts and goals as a writer will help you achieve that success much faster. You can still be wildly creative and efficient and productive at the same time.

Though networking may seem like an overwhelming task at times for some of us, you’ll soon discover that building the network you need is completely within your power, with the time and space available to you now. That network will be uniquely yours because it will be built on your goals, your strengths, and your everyday activities.

For a networking book specifically geared toward indie-authors and how to market themselves and their book, pick up a copy of Dan Parson's book Networking for Authors. It's a great resource too!

Networking for Writers is the perfect workbook for writers who want to make a living off their writing, whether it be books, magazine articles, ad copy, podcasts, medical journal articles, instruction manuals, screenwriting, and more.
