February Online Workshop

February 1-14, 2010 Mini Workshop
The Mad Science of Writing: How to create & build a brand around the
invention that is your book!
Presented by Corey Blake

Every writer has a little mad scientist within them that loves to explore,
adores creation, and deplores business theory, but for writing to actually
reach its intended audience, it has to be created and marketed like an
invention. Corey's talk articulates the need for a writer to define the
theme of their work, produce their genius invention (a manuscript) and then
build the campaign that will launch their book out into the world. It's a
light-the-fire-under-your-pants talk with proven steps based on Corey's
decade of experience as an actor, director, producer, writer and business
owner.
