Tahoe Literary Festival: Building Your Platform Through Essay Writing
A strong platform does not begin with posting more. It begins with having something worth saying.
In this two-part workshop, Blair Glaser explores how essay writing can help writers clarify their ideas, develop a recognizable voice and build a body of work that creates real connection with readers.
The sessions will look at how personal experience becomes meaningful writing, how essays can help shape a larger body of work, and how writers can think about visibility without flattening themselves into a “personal brand.”
