Writing and Right Livelihood

“Writing and Right Livelihood” will offer writers of all backgrounds, genres, and levels of experience methods for using their writing to earn income in ways that don’t compromise their values or sacrifice their dreams.

The workshop will be on Tuesday, January 30th, from 7-8:30 pm Central on Zoom. Participants will be given the Zoom link upon registration. The class fee is $40 per person and all proceeds benefit the WCDH scholarship fund.

Making a living while holding open the space and mindset for one’s writing can sometimes be wildly challenging or feel very limited beyond adjunct teaching. Learn what other opportunities can look like and how to discover what's right for you. Two long-time Right Livelihood and career transition coaches, writers, and teachers will lead you through some short writing exercises and thought-provoking discussions to better discern what directions you might want to investigate further -- such as writing coaching, developmental editing, content creation, workshop facilitation and other forms of community teaching, or work in other venues and occupations that leave you fresh for your writing time.
