A Rising Tide Raises All Boats - Keynote
Matty Dalrymple shares her thoughts on the value writers gain--and the value they can share--when they approach the business of writing with a mindset of plenty, not as a zero-sum game. A fan of nautical metaphors for the writing craft and the publishing voyage, Matty discusses how a rising tide can truly raise all boats in an author community, including:
How selfishly grabbing of a short-term opportunity (in a panel discussion, at a book fair) carries a long-term creative and business cost
How we benefit by encouraging reading, even of others' books
How creating opportunities for others creates opportunities for ourselves
How building a network extends the potential benefits we and others in our community can gain
How to take the concrete steps that will pave the way to benefiting from and propagating a mindset of plenty in our writer communities
