"Don't Get Left Behind: New Opportunities for Writers" with Richard Nash

Part of Grub Street's Publish It Forward lecture series, funded by the NEA. What does it mean to be a writer in a world where seemingly everyone is a writer? Richard Nash, serial entrepreneur, maverick, and student of books and media, draws on legal, economic and intellectual history, on his experience running iconic indie Soft Skull Press, and on his start-ups Small Demons, Red Lemonade and Cursor to offer writers a new framework for understanding the business of writing and the culture of reading. You will leave with a new perspective on the incredible range of opportunities now available to writers which will enable you to make the best possible choices in your own life and career. Registered Muse and the Marketplace attendees do not need to register for this session; they may simply come. The event is also open to the public.
