How much of ourselves do we put on the page? Where’s the boundary between who we are as people and who we are as writers? How do we not take feedback personally? In modern publishing, there’s an expectation for authors to be present in the promotion and marketing of their work. It can be difficult to navigate the pressures of being a presence while staying true to yourself and your craft. This talk will cover the power and pitfalls of vulnerability as writers, from when we’re alone with our drafts to initial shares to pursuing a path in publishing and beyond.
