Episode 27: [WRITING CRAFT] How conferences can elevate your writing | Learning across genres

In this episode, we share nuggets of wisdom and insight from attending the Mountain Words Festival in Crested Butte, CO from May 24-26, 2024. There's a lot to learn from authors outside your own genre. It's easy to find yourself deeply immersed in your own genre, so in this episode we speak to the benefits of learning across genres. We attended a variety of sessions led by authors across a variety of genres who spoke about the writing process, idea generation, and experiences with the publishing process. The writing journey is unique for everyone. It's inspiring to hear from successfully published authors about being prepared for the long game of writing and being dedicated to your craft.Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the Inspired Writer Collective podcast.
