Some Motivation Before We Say Goodbye
This module will address all you need to know about beta-readers and editors, as well as the steps involved in formatting and/or publishing (should you choose to follow the memoir path), submitting an essay to the Braving Healing library, or to magazines or online/social media platforms that accept articles.
1. I’m super anxious about having others read my story, especially those who know me. How do I pick who to ask to be my beta-reader?
2. I’ve written my story, and I’m glad I did. But now I want to sit on it for a while. Is that common?
3. Is publishing supposed to be this nerve-wracking?
Time to Regroup!
Now ask yourself, “How do I feel?” “Why do I feel that?”
(You can write down your answers by downloading the pdf or in a notebook)
