Strategies for Writing & Getting Published: Conversations with Authors
Are you working on a manuscript and wondering what to do next? How do you make the leap from ‘writer’ to ‘published author’? Do you dream of writing books and reaching people with your words? Have you ever asked yourself these questions about being a writer, but don’t know the next steps to take on your path to becoming a published author?
Join us Monday, March 27th at the Nefesh B’Nefesh Cultural Center, for another WRITE-HAUS panel discussion.
We are honored to present a diverse selection of speakers, including three writers with extensive experience publishing their work. They will share their stories, introduce their body of work, and provide practical advice and tips for aspiring writers who want to transform their passions into their careers.

Her short fiction has appeared in various journals in the US and UK and two of her stories were adapted for the stage in London and New York.
