New to the writer's life? All the acronyms and new vocabulary can be daunting. They’re thrown around the writing sphere like we all know what they mean- but we don’t! What the heck is a WIP, ARC, MS, MC, or an ISBN? What does indie, hybrid, and traditional publishing even mean? Genres- What are they? And where does my book fit into them? If you are just embarking on your author journey, this is the perfect workshop to give you the knowledge to navigate your way through all those confusing terms.
