Webinar: Marketing Made Simple: How to Attract Your Readers and Clients
with Maite Dalila, NAIWE’s Branding & Marketing Expert
Cost: FREE for NAIWE Members
Starting in November, we are hosting the NAIWE Marketing Hour. Once a month on Zoom. Limited to 12 seats, so we actually get to know each other.
Bring the thing you’re stuck on. The email list that won’t grow. The website you’re a little embarrassed by. The client you can’t seem to find. The brand that doesn’t feel like you. We’ll figure it out together.
Then:
Dec: Email List 101. Get your first subscribers and keep them.
Jan: Website Review. Bring your site and find out what to fix first.
Feb: Branding 101. Show what makes you different.
Grab a coffee or tea. Turn your camera on. Meet people the way we used to. Face to face, over coffee.

Webinar: Never Run Out of Ideas: The Notebook Habit Behind Great Writers
with xotes, a NAIWE Benefit Partner
Cost: $20
Every writer and editor has lost a good idea. A blog post angle, a pitch, a line worth quoting. It shows up in the shower or halfway through a client’s manuscript, and by the time you sit down to use it, it’s gone.
Some of the most productive writers in history solved this with one simple habit. Joan Didion, Octavia Butler, and Mark Twain all kept notebooks full of snippets of conversation, quotes, observations, and half-formed ideas. The old name for this kind of notebook is a commonplace book, and writers have been keeping them for centuries.
In this webinar, you’ll learn why ideas slip away so fast, what memory research says about writing things down, and how great writers turned scattered notes into finished work. You’ll also walk away with one simple practice for capturing, sorting, and revisiting ideas, so you always have material ready for your next pitch, blog post, newsletter, or book.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a system you can start using the same day, whether you prefer pen and paper or your phone.
