Let’s be real: writers who have financial stability are in better shape to focus on their art. In partnership with the Authors Guild Foundation series Business Bootcamps for Writers, personal finance expert Erin Lowry (author of the Broke Millennial series) joins us virtually for a private chat with Blue Stoop writers to discuss what we all should know about making and managing money. We’ll talk about valuing your time and negotiating rates, building up a steady cash flow, and planning for taxes and retirement. Come with your burning questions! This will be a safe, shame-free space to discuss financial health.
