Writing Connections
Writing Connections is a podcast devoted to exploring the literary landscape and larger creative ecosystem, looking at the ways we connect with and support one another through retreats, residencies, writing groups, conferences, mentorships, and other opportunities and relationships. Host Laura Walker interviews writers and creative supporters across genres, disciplines, and geographic boundaries.
Writing Connections
Don’t Assume People Can’t Pay What You’re Asking
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I can’t say this enough - please don't assume what anybody can't or won't pay for your retreat. Believe me, if they really want and need your retreat, they'll find a way to pay for it.
Even though you have no idea what someone can or can’t afford, or what they want to spend their money on, you still have to do the work to make sure people see the value of purchasing a spot in your retreat.
