Writers Chat Recap for May, Part 2

Writers Chat, hosted by Jean Wise, Johnnie Alexander, and Bethany Jett, is the show where we talk about all things writing, by writers and for writers!

“Because talking about writing is more fun than actually doing it.”

You, the Protagonist, Developing Your Brand with Caroline George

Caroline George, a literary agent at C.Y.L.E., commits her time and energy to telling stories in their many forms. As a 2017 Belmont University graduate with a double-major in publishing and public relations, Caroline aims to pursue a career committed to helping authors, publishers and organizations project their stories to their publics. She spends her time blogging, writing for various magazines and authoring young adult fiction books (her current publications include “The Prime Way Trilogy” and “The Vestige”). She considers herself a not-so-southern Georgia peach, coffee-junkie, bona fide goofball and delights in being best known for writing the phrase, “Coffee first. Save the world later.” You can find her on social media or contact her at www.authorcarolinegeorge.com

Creative Outlets for Writers with Cody Morehead

Cody Morehead, Creative Director for Serious Writer, Inc., joins us today to talk about branding, creating social media images, and tips for graphic design. He also shares the importance of engaging in other creative outlets and hobbies beyond writing. We often have an “illusion of busy-ness,” but is that a badge of honor or a badge of brokenness? Cody encourages us to “try and fail” and to make time in our weekly schedule for a hobby. Other creative pursuits–even something as simple as a daily walk–feed our souls and nourish our writing.
