Spring 2025 Schedule
Building a Healthy Writing Practice
Wednesday, March 26, 5 p.m. ET
Presented by E. Prybylski
Whether for fun or for professional publishing, writing can be tremendously rewarding. However, there’s a lot more to it than we learn in school! Discerning what is “proper” and what is healthy can be a full-time exercise, so Ellis is here to help. A professional in the publishing industry since 2008, Ellis is an AuDHD editor, author, publisher, and book coach. He can help you un-knot the tangle and enjoy your writing without the agony of worrying about what’s “right.” (Spoiler: There is no secret sauce!)
