Workshops

When I’m not writing my own work, I teach workshops on writing and publishing. Many are geared toward beginning writers or first time publishers, but more advanced content is also available. Email mj@mjpullen.com for more information.

Recent/Upcoming Workshops:

Have you written a book, or thought about writing one? Not sure how to go about the publication process or even what might be involved in traditional, partnership or self-publishing? Whether you’re interested in writing non-fiction to help your clients, or penning a bestselling work of fiction, the publishing process can be overwhelming to say the least. As a multi-published fiction author, coach and therapist, I often get asked for help navigating this quickly-changing industry.

So, I’m excited to announce my “Paths to Publication” and “Book Marketing 101” Workshops in 2019. Both will help new and aspiring authors understand their publishing options, gain the resources to make important decisions for their books, and avoid costly mistakes and/or predatory publishing practices. Register early and save!

Here’s what past participants have said about my workshops:

M.J. attracts like-minded professionals, who provide great fodder for classroom conversation. You return home with THE toolbox for the budding wordsmith. Highly recommended.”
