Mindset is one of the few things we can control in publishing. So, let’s have a candid conversation about it! Bestselling author Vanessa Lillie will start this session by sharing the shifts she made after publishing two successful books, yet finding herself back at square one, looking for a new agent and publisher. She will discuss how these lessons were internal—shifting away from the lack/"please please please like me" energy we often develop after (years of) querying. She will then discuss how taking a step back, asking yourself some tough questions, and changing how you view yourself as a writer in the midst of rejection can lead to a much more fulfilling writing career. You can expect to leave this session with a clearer sense of how you can channel rejections and use them to propel you in more productive and successful directions.
