The Rebel Writing Life

Description

This course is designed to give you a thorough introduction to the publishing world so that you can then take that new knowledge and build the writing career of your dreams. I will have you set goals, focus your intentions, and build up your confidence to share your work with the world.

This course is interactive. I’ll have you pause from viewing to do writing exercises to clarify the type of writer you wish to be and what your dream career looks like. This isn’t just a quick-view course. Success means something different to everyone - I want to help you find a path that feels meaningful to you.

Why haven’t you moved forward with your publishing career?

Are you worrying too much about what other people will say about your work?

Don’t know where to start?

Think you aren’t a real writer?

Can’t get past the gatekeepers?

Can’t finish your book?

Worry that you will fail?

We must push past all our fears and setbacks and keep moving forward. This course will help you overcome the hurdles that have prevented you from the writing career you desire.

In this course you will learn all about:

· The traditional and indie publishing worlds

· Building a career as an author

· Overcoming fear and doubt

· Deciding if a traditional writing education is right for you

· How to revise and edit your manuscript

· How to build a creative community around you

· How and where to get your work published

· Life as a rebel writer

· And so much more.

If you were looking for a traditional publishing 101 class you’ve come to the wrong place. I want to push you to think outside the box when it comes to a writing career. I want you to always be questioning what success means to you.

What students are saying about the course:

“Amazing course!! I'm learning a ton.” -Jackie M

“I love this course - super helpful and insightful! Thank you so much for all of this valuable information.” – Michelle H.

“Having already completed the Rebel Memoir course, I knew that this one would have the same down-to-earth approach by Libby. As though being sat in a cafe with her chatting. What Libby delivers in this course, which I found very useful, was not only the amount of information and detail she gives about things like social media, publishing and so forth. But I also discovered how to approach certain institutions, such as Libraries, bookshops, which I had jotted down as areas needed to contact when self-publishing. I also learnt about online pitch events that I never even knew existed and now know how they work. Although some of Libby's examples, say for instance names of big stores, are ones in America, for that is where she lives, despite this and my living in the UK, the actual content of the advice is relevant so can be put to use here too. When Libby says she is there for you and to please get in touch with her on social media, her words are not false. I reached out after completing the Rebel Memoir course and I feel doing so has meant I have a great, genuine, contact within the writing community.” – Penny W.
