Five Benefits from My First Scriptoria

By Kevin Washburn, author of
Uprise: Building Resilience in Ourselves & Others

Identity: I began to think of myself as a writer—not just a guy who did some writing on the side.

Feedback: Input from fellow writers and professional editors influenced my thinking and writing as I returned to it during and after the event.

Camaraderie: Some of the individuals I encountered have become occasional mentors for me, and some have become friends who I follow and cheer as they continue in their own writing.

Knowledge: Learning how to develop a proposal and “above the fold” text, for example, is know-how I have used several times since.

Confidence: I left feeling like I had something worthwhile to say, and I also had the ability to make it happen.

Workshops Can Be Intense

Whether it’s your first workshop or you’re an experienced pro, workshops can be intimidating. For tips on both giving and receiving feedback, check out our workshop tips and survival guide!
