Join us today for the monthly WordCount Last Wednesday writer chat.
We’ll discuss how to make yourself and your story ideas veritable catnip to editors in our discussion of breaking into new markets.
The chat takes place today at 10 a.m. Pacific time. Use the #wclw hashtag on Twitter to join in the conversation.
We’ll start with introductions, answer a few pre-set questions and leave lots of time for other questions.
Here are the pre-set questions:
- Q1: What’s your biggest concern when approaching a new-to-you publication?
- Q2: If you’ve successfully worked with a new writing outlet in the last 1-2 years, how did it happen?
- Q3: How have you used social networks (LinkedIn, FB, Twitter, etc.) to mine new outlets for your writing?
- Q4: What do you know now that you wish you’d known when you first approached new markets?
Joining the #wclw chat
It’s possible to use the standard Twitter interface for the chat, but you might find it easier to follow along with an add-on application such as TweetGrid, TweetChat or HootSuite. Of those three, my favorite is TweetChat, which you can log into using your Twitter account. You might want to alert followers that you’ll be tweeting more than usual during the chat, and suggest they use Muuter.com to temporarily mute you if they don’t want to tune into the conversation.
If you’re unable to join us, I’ll post highlights from the chat in an upcoming post.
