STET Talk:
Results-Driven Networking in 2024
June 26 @ 9 am PT/12:00 p.m ET.
Join us June 26 with Linda Ruggeri and Brittany Dowdle for “Results-Driven Networking in 2024.” In this STET Talk, we’ll take the intimidation factor out of networking and show that building the network you need and want is completely within your power.
We’ll discuss:
-
What is—and isn’t—networking?
-
How am I positioning myself?
-
What kind of network do I need?
-
What can I do to build the network I need?
Come spend an hour with Linda and Brittany and let’s start building your ideal network. All “verts” (introverts, ambiverts, and extroverts) are welcome! This free event, hosted by Cyndi Sandusky and Sheryl Holmberg, will take place June 26, 2024, at noon (ET). Bring your questions, and we’ll see you there!

This meeting is for editors in The Networking Studio Circle Community.
Our discussion will be about taking a pause, looking back to Q1, Q2, and forward to Q3 to make sure we are staying on track, or getting back on track, to where we want our businesses to be, and what we need to do to get there (and who can help us).
Participants will be asked questions to share or "just ponder" during the meeting. This is an interactive and safe space, intended to support freelance editors in reaching their quarterly goals. A recording of the meeting will be sent to all participants who register, as well as downloadable worksheets can help you prepare for the meeting.

Finding Success: Where Networking and Volunteering Meet (ASPC_
Saturday, April 27 at Georgia State University, Perimeter College for the Atlanta Self-Publishing Conference (ASPC)
As we continue having fun and visiting the country on our editor->indie-author->author-publisher journey, Brittany Dowdle and I will be presenting in person at the Atlanta Self-Publishing Conference (ASPC).
One of the perks of being freelance editors and indie-authors is that we know how to find the right people writers and authors need in their networks to successfully launch, and sustain, their book projects.
The conference is an all-day event, and the ticket includes a great lunch (with vegan and gluten-free options!) We would love to see you there!
