Unlock Your Potential by Networking

Make The Right Connections Without Selling Your Soul

You don’t need to “work the room”, collect meaningless business cards, or pretend to be someone you’re not. You need a simple, humane system for meeting the right people, starting real conversations, and turning chance encounters into ongoing, career-shaping relationships. That’s exactly what this course gives you—step by step, in plain English, with practical scripts you can actually use. Why Networking Feels Awkward (And How We Fix It) * Writers are told “it’s who you know,” but no one hands us a map. We get thrown into festivals, book launches, and online groups and hope serendipity does the rest. The result is hit-and-miss encounters, missed opportunities, and that anxious aftertaste of “I should have said…”. This course replaces awkward improvisation with a repeatable approach: set clear outcomes, choose the right rooms—physical and digital—open strong, listen better, follow up with grace, and nurture relationships over months and years. You’ll learn to be strategic without being transactional, confident without being slick, and generous without being taken for a ride. What You’ll Be Able To Do By The End * Walk into any event, online or in person, with a simple plan and a calm mind. Start conversations naturally—even if small talk isn’t your thing. Articulate your literary vision in a sentence when it counts, then drift comfortably back to ordinary chat when that’s more effective. Follow up without sounding needy. Decide when to say yes and, crucially, when to say no. Build a reputation that quietly precedes you. Turn contacts into collaborators, referrals, mentors, readers, clients, and friends. Who This Course Is For * If you’re a novelist, screenwriter, poet, copywriter, editor, freelancer, or creative entrepreneur who shudders at “networking” but recognizes it’s time to get deliberate about your career, you’re in the right place. If you already mingle like a pro but want a tighter system and better results, you’ll find plenty here to sharpen your edge. How The Course Works * You’ll get concise lessons, real-world examples, and ready-to-use templates. Everything is self-paced. No mandatory live calls—because your time is precious and calendars are chaos. You’ll have an asynchronous discussion space to share wins, ask questions, and get feedback in the Academy Community. Each module ends with a small “do this now” action, so momentum is baked in. What Makes This Networking Course Different * It’s built by a working writer for working writers. No corporate “networking theatre,” no ghastly icebreakers, no extrovert-only tactics. We focus on the steady cultivation of allies across publishing, film, audio, festivals, and the wider creative economy. Strategic when needed, human always.
