Nonfiction is fantastic! It’s here where you have the opportunity to interview extraordinary people, deep-dive into quirky, fun content, and perhaps do some hands-on research. Ann shares insider secrets that help participants build a proposal from vision to finish. She provides tips to master the art of engagement during the writing process itself—while avoiding snags. This webinar invites novice, intermediate, and advanced writers to explore a sure-fire, step-by-step process for publishing in this genre and building a business. Ann covers her own journey along with specific, actionable guidelines to succeed in this field. This is not meant as a one-off endeavor, but rather a springboard of ready-to-use tools and tips. Perhaps most importantly, this webinar is inspirational. Combining perspiration with preparation, participants will envision what it means to be a successful nonfiction author.
