WELCOME
The Serious Writer team is thrilled to host the Lexington, SC Tour Stop: a one-day writer’s boot camp.
Our speakers include bestselling author Steven James, bestselling author Michelle Medlock Adams, and award-winning author Bethany Jett.
It’s a privilege to share our knowledge of the writing and publishing industry.
We will focus on novel writing and ghostwriting, as well as how to freelance and utilize marketing and social media strategies that get the attention of publishers.
This one-day tour stop allows participants lots of personal interaction.
We can’t wait to meet you and help you plan your next steps for your books and writing careers.
The Buddy Passes are a fantastic way to get a great deal and come with your spouse, friend, or teen. (Learn more about Buddy Passes here.)
