Writers of all sorts; scripts, poems, music, news, etc. This is the conference! Especially if you desire and are seeking ways of turning your passion for writing into a profitable business. As much as writing in itself is fulfilling and brings fame, acclaim, and accolades, it is also ideally a craft that should put food on the table, pay bills and fund itself. In other words, writing is business in itself (or at least, should be). This is what the Connect Nigeria Writers’ Conference 2019 is about – an event designed to educate you on monetizing your passion for writing and generating sustainable income from your writing career.
About the Conference
The Writers’ Conference 2019 is a platform fashioned out to create a community where writers can exchange ideas, share information, form partnerships and grow together. This year, the intent is to explore this theme through workshops, panels and keynote speeches, putting together a bigger programme of events. The objective, as earlier stated, is to basically “expose writers to the various money-making opportunities in different fields of writing.” The focus is to emphasize practical and possible ways of making money in today’s tech-oriented and extremely competitive world. To achieve this, the conference is designed in a practical and ‘down-to-earth’ as possible manner. It is to enable a honing of talents, skills while turning these to money. In addition to that, it is intended to strangle convoluted and pipedream expectations, leaving participants with concrete and real-world applicable value.
The Writers’ Conference is targeted at aspiring writers to help them develop the requisite skill to thrive in today’s business environment.
