Getting to Your Goals Workshop

Having trouble getting started? Do you feel overwhelmed with your to-do list or not sure where to jump in? In this workshop, we will identify our big goals, narrow our immediate focus, come up with an action plan, and curate resources for when we get stuck. This workshop would appeal to everyone including writers early in their careers as well as veteran authors.

After a successful career as a National Board Certified Teacher with over a decade of experience, Kathryn became an author but still has a passion for teaching. She has been an active member of the Virginia Romance Writers since 2018 and has served on the board since 2021. She fully values giving back and loves to talk with anyone who has an interest in writing. Please get in touch with her with any questions you have or to set up a workshop! She is an indie author who has navigated all parts of the process and can speak at a wide variety of craft and business workshops.
