WIW Marketing Seminar Highlights (Part 2)

www.inkthinkerblog.com — The second session of the day at the March 10 WIW seminar on Marketing Yourself and Your Writing was Find and Win Freelance Clients. I was busy in the hallway running my mouth with Ann Merchant, so I missed pretty much the whole presentation.

But I did get this gem of wisdom from presenter Nathan Abse at the tail end of the Q&A session:
