Today is the LAST DAY to get a virtual ticket to the Cat Writers' Association virtual conference being held next Saturday. It will also include talks from the live conference that is being held on Friday... which also includes my presentation (description below). Yes, I used AI to change my photo to having a cat instead of a pug. Here is the link for the conference: https://catwriters.com/2025-cwa-annual-communications.../
Full Speed Ahead: Make Your Writing Business Purr
For many writers, the creative side comes naturally — but the “business stuff” can feel like herding cats. In this practical and inspiring session, publisher, author, and entrepreneur Laurren Darr shares her hard-won lessons from founding three companies, a nonprofit, and publishing nearly 100 books.
You’ll learn how to:
•Build the foundation of your author business with confidence
•Create simple systems to manage finances, publishing, and marketing
•Develop a personal brand that stands out in a crowded marketplace
•Use tools and resources to make business less overwhelming and more sustainable
Blending strategy, marketing know-how, and real-world author experience, this workshop gives you a peek at the behind-the-scenes resources that keep creative businesses running smoothly. You’ll leave with clarity, momentum, and the confidence to run your author business at full speed — without spinning your wheels.
