Being a talented writer with a good book is never enough. The hard part for many writers is managing the next steps of publishing and distribution, marketing and sales. The book business is a particular challenge for writers without prior business experience and without an entrepreneurial mindset. In this webinar presentation, Del Chatterson, CWC member and author of the Dale Hunter Series of crime thrillers, will share his storytelling journey and the lessons learned from the perspective of an experienced entrepreneur, business advisor, and writer for entrepreneurs. He will address the common criteria for success in entrepreneurship and in creative writing and how telling a good story is so important to both.
