Hey ProWriters. We love learning everything we can about the art of writing, and we know you do too. That's why we like to highlight exciting opportunities we find across the internet that can help you improve your craft and master writing technique.
We're super excited about the return of Gabriela Pereira's DIY MFA course next month, and wanted to share all of the details with you.
This year, Gabriela is beginning the course with a FREE training session and an AMA:
Free Webinar: How to Survive and Succeed as a Writer
Join Gabriela for her free webinar, How to Survive and Succeed as a Writer (Without Breaking Your Heart or Losing Your Mind) on Monday, March 1st at 1pm EST (10am PST and 6pm in the UK):
Here’s the secret about writing: survival (and also success) has nothing to do with talent or technique. It’s all about mindset and attitude. This is true whether you are just starting out or have been writing for decades. The most effective way to up your game is to understand yourself more fully, both as a writer and a human being.
In this webinar, Gabriela debunks three major myths about writing, lets you in on her secret formula for conquering goals, and walks you through a fundamental technique that will change your writing process forever. You’ll leave this session energized and inspired, but also with the tools you need so you can write more, write better, and write smarter.
There are two parts to the training:
Part 1: How to Survive and Succeed as a Writer
Monday, March 1st @ 1pm ET
Part 2: Ask Me Anything
Tuesday, March 2nd @ 11am ET
Can't make those dates/times? No problem. Sign up and Gabriela will send you a recording.
