Description
From professional disappointments to personal challenges, stumbling blocks can become downright boulders for writers, regardless of where in the journey you are. But what if the challenges that make success seem unattainable are there to propel you to the next level? Come prepared to be guided through mind-body exercises and practical hands-on activities to manifest your personal success story.
Learning Objectives/Outcomes
In this virtual workshop, two recovering posers and award-winning middle grade authors will meet you where you are to share examples of when obstacles made quitting feel like the right decision. If you’re on the verge of giving up, come learn how to turn “insurmountable” roadblocks into stepping-stones to success!
Who is this for?
All creatives—no matter where you are on your publishing journey!
Format
An online presentation with hands-on exercises and a Q&A at the end.

Nancy lives in Connecticut with her family and is a fan of popcorn, reading, and literacy outreach programs of all kinds.
Jeanne Zulick Ferruolo is the author of Each of Us a Universe, A Galaxy of Sea Stars—a 2022-23 Nutmeg nominee—and Ruby in the Sky, which earned two starred reviews and which Booklist called “quietly magical.” She is also a volunteer with IRIS-Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services in New Haven, Connecticut.
