Comments on: Creative-Hyphenate? http://booksbywomen.org/creative-hyphenate/ Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:32:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 By: Sarah Banham http://booksbywomen.org/creative-hyphenate/#comment-47312 Tue, 15 Mar 2016 10:32:21 +0000 http://booksbywomen.org/?p=13401#comment-47312 I agree. The role of the modern day author needs to be adaptable and flexible. No longer are we sitting writing, now we PR everything and make it happen. And talking to strangers is a must because the next stranger could be your next client.

Sorry…typo…in my twenties as a traditionally published author.

Glad this article was helpful. My memoir,’Not Just a Piece of Cake;Being an Author'(Brolga) is out next month and that deals candidly with the realities of being a writer, longterm AND also having a family. Having to proof read it was a kind of flashback for me. I think it is now HARDER than when i first started in my twneties as a traditionally published author with publisher PR support because new writers now have to do it ALL.

I feel like I am doing this same dance all of the time. In fact, once I am through writing this comment, I need to draft a map of how I am going to accomplish my authorpreneurial tasks this week while making sure I still get to a bit of writing!

So glad the article was helpful. I admit that I’m still using ‘Authorpreneur’ rather than Creative Hyphenate.
Shorter. More accurate.

Over the weekend I attended a personal development retreat style event and met a lot of new people who were genuinely curious about my work. After explaining the various components one challenged me with, “So what’s your title?”

No one had ever asked that before and I was truly at a loss. I have heard the term “slasher” but that sounds so violent!

Always nice to hear other perspectives on this. Thank you again.
