A networking opportunity…
The Authors’ Gathering will take place on Thursday, November 26th from 6-9pm ET in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. This event is in person and welcomes writers at any stage, from any genre!
The myths that made us…
advaya will be hosting a 2-day virtual Mythology Summit from November 18-19, featuring mythologists, writers, artists, and teachers. The summit aims to dive into the stories that have shaped cultures and still run through the books we write, read, and love today. The Mythology Summit is free to watch live, but there is a cost for lifetime access to the sessions.
Quote of the week…
“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”
― Pablo Picasso
