How to THINK INK! — Article Writing and Publishing to Boost Credibility and Bookings

Are you regarded as an expert in your field? 
Experts get hired and rehired, quoted and consulted. It’s time to up your expertise. How?

Through getting published!

Learn ways to THINK INK as you share your brilliance through different types and formats of articles and columns that run in newspapers and magazines, blogs, e-zines and journals.   In this Zoom meeting you’ll:

• Identify how and where to put your articles in print
• Discuss and see examples of different article formats for sharing your expertise
• Engage in a process to generate article and column ideas and pieces to showcase your skill set and experience
• Develop an article outline from one of several article templates

You will leave this salon with article and story ideas and an outline for your next article! Even if you’ve never written an article, bring snippets or kernels of an idea and learn how to mindmap them into an article!

When you register for this program you will also receive supplemental materials in advance for overcoming procrastination and writer’s block, tips for brainstorming article ideas, and other tools to help you write your future success. Attendees will also receive a fillable PDF Handout containing thumbnails of all slides shown which you can annotate with your own notes.
