Join Nina for a Free Writing Webinar

Nina, the Writing Coach

Are you looking to get published? What’s stopping you?

Join me for a FREE Webinar through Writer’s Digest University on how to improve your writing and succeed in getting published.

I'm joined by journalist and editor Vernon Oikle on “Toolkit Talks", a conversation in which we share great tips on how to get published. We answer some commonly asked questions provided by Writer’s Digest Magazine editors; questions faced by writers getting started as well as those finding their career stagnating. Learn some of the secrets writers use to jumpstart and keep their career in upward motion. Get the answers you need to get published.

What’s the difference between a writer who publishes and one who isn’t publishing? It’s often not talent or storytelling ability; it’s more ofen attitude, organization and drive. For instance, do you suffer from any of the following?

• You have cool ides but have trouble getting started

• You've been writing forever but can't finish

• Time & schedules are getting in the way

• You're lost in a sea of plot & characters

• You're scared of getting rejected & being ridiculed

• You're scared of living a dream

Join my free webinar where I answer frequently asked questions that came straight from Writer's Digest! Questions whose answers will help you get published:

• What resources and tools do you recommend for writers?

• Which do you think aren't worth the time?

• How do I make sure I maintain the right level of objectivity when I'm writing about things I'm passionate about?

• How do you balance plot and characters in your story?

• What are the elements of a strong hero? What are the elements of a strong villain?

• How do I know if my story moves too slowly or too quickly? How do I fix it?

• How do you weave in theme within a story?

• How do you choose the right point of view for your story?

• Should I outline before I begin writing a story?

• Where should I begin when I'm revising?

• How do you promote your work?

• How do you know when your story is ready to submit?

• How do you know which markets are best for your work?
