How to Be Creatively Uninhibited
Sasha Chapin has had an unusual writing career. He’s gone from being an award-winning magazine writer to publishing a memoir about a worldwide chess career with Doubleday. Now, he’s publishing a serial novel about a depressed vampire on Substack.
In this Zoom call, Sasha will detail the insights he’s gleaned from his adventures in writing and reporting, as well as sharing some of the finer points of writing improvement that he imparts in his coaching practice.
Agenda
Sasha and Stew Fortier will do a deep dive into:
The path to being a published author: How did Sasha go from zero published work to getting a book contract in a couple of years?
Publishing methods: What did Sasha learn from working with a major publisher, and why is Sasha choosing Substack for his upcoming serial novel?
Becoming uninhibited: How did Sasha go from suffering literary writer producing nothing to becoming prolific and happy?
Writing coaching insights: What are some common themes/pathologies Sasha discovers in his writing coaching?
Afterward, we’ll do a Q&A with the group where Sasha can answer any questions that come up.
As always, bring some coffee and a notebook ;)
