Book Fest Master Class with Maggie Ginsberg: 10 Ways I Got Unstuck

Every polished page of writing represents a dozen barriers that could have kept the words from landing on the page. Writer's block, busy lives, internet outages, lack of inspiration and ideas—even (especially?) struggling for just the right craft tools. In this 90-minute intensive masterclass, Maggie Ginsberg will crack open her process notebooks and discuss 10 different challenges she struggled through and overcame, offering up tips, tools, strategies and samples by other writers on everything from craft to time management to publishing. There will be a little time for practice and Q&A as well.
