You Wrote It, Now What?

An inspiring & informative evening for aspiring writers

An Opportunity for Aspiring and New Authors

Author and speaker Elsa Kurt has put together an event for writers of all stages in their writing career. As a multi-genre, traditionally & independently published author, she's experienced many of the trials and tribulations along the way. Like so many others, she'd written something (or had the idea to write something) but didn't know what she was supposed to do with it. Elsa says that when she began writing, "I jumped in face first and flew by the seat of my pants, making mistakes & learning as I went along. It was very discouraging and overwhelming at times." She adds that, while she doesn't regret the bumpy, winding journey she's taken, she also feels she can spare others some of the pitfalls, frustrations, and obstacles she faced.

After numerous conversations with aspiring but deterred writers, Elsa put together a presentation called, You Wrote It, Now What? to encourage and inspire others to start or continue their writing journey. In her event description, she says, "I'll be bringing you along the scenic route through the writing, publishing, and self-promoting process, taking the confusion & intimidation OUT of the picture, so you can feel excited and energized about your writing goals & dreams."
