Leap into autumn with a day of writing!

Who is telling your story? How do voice and point of view (POV) tell your story, move it forward, and ultimately ramp up the all-important conflict and tension?

The Scribbler’s Ink fall prompt-writing workshop will focus on POV and exploring the right one for your characters.

Join us in picturesque Nahant, MA, and spend the day delving deep into the narrative voice and the best way to bring it to life in your writing! This workshop is run by writer Roberta Lerman and myself!

Come check out the Literary Salon at SomerStreets, where I’ll join a handful of other local authors in sharing our writing to a live audience! The event runs 2-6pm, and in that time we will do two, possibly three “shows.”

SomerStreets is the City of Somerville’s an open-streets concept; the street will be closed to cars and open for walking, biking, running, and dancing! will also feature live music, craft vendors, community tabling groups, and interactive activities for kids and adults!

The festival will take place on Highland Avenue in Somerville, between Central Street and Lowell Street.

Working as a freelance editor offers a lot of freedom and flexibility — including your decisions over your rates. While it’s great to be in control, how do you walk the fine line between charging competitive rates and charging what you’re worth?

Whether you’re starting to freelance and are unsure where to start when it comes to setting your own rates, or you’ve been freelancing for a while and are looking for inspiration from different pricing strategies, this webinar can give you some useful insights. With years of experience in the industry, Reedsy editors Matrice Hussey and Jennifer Safrey will discuss how they approach setting rates, and reveal tips on:

• How to set a base rate (per hour or per word?);

• How to work with samples and adjust your rate to individual projects;

• Factoring business costs into your pricing strategy; and

• How to avoid undercharging and manage clients’ expectations.

Watch their discussion live—Matrice and Jennifer will answer questions from the audience at the end of the webinar.
