There has been a big change in the industry recently, and in this episode Estelle covers what has been happening and why and what you need to do about it.
Estelle Erasmus has been in publishing for 3 decades — on both sides of the publishing wall — as a gatekeeper and as a journalist/writer who has found ways to break through the gate and get noticed — which is what she covers in her book, and teaches her students at NYU, in private coaching, and for Writer’s Digest.
Through the years, Estelle has seen multiple trends emerge —— and go away. From the days that print was king, to the rise of online publications, to the start of blogging, Estelle has been there and has been able to pivot and maximize each trend. She shares what to do, and also covers the changes in social media that every writer needs to be aware of.
Since people are consuming content in different ways than they were before, and advertisers are paying in different ways than they were before, publishing is going through a bumpy ride. But there is hope for content creators. Tune in to hear current trends and how you can continue to be a successful writer today.
