Think you missed the boat because you didn’t publish by thirty? Nonsense! Join us for “The Late Debut,” where we prove that your best stories are just waiting for you to get a little life experience. We’re tackling those nagging questions: Is the industry biased against gray hair? Do I have to start a TikTok dance career to sell a book? Is my life story too boring? We’re here to say: absolutely not. Bring your questions, a sense of humor, and your unfinished manuscript. It’s never too late to trade that mid-life crisis for a debut book launch!

Attendees will learn to:

• Leverage your unique life perspective as your greatest creative asset.
• Navigate the publishing world with confidence, regardless of your age.
• Ignore the “prodigy” myth that suggests you’re behind schedule.
• Build a sustainable writing practice that fits your established lifestyle.
• Connect with a community of writers who are starting their journey now.
