Navigating Difficult Conversations Around Money

resource video

As a writer, you often need to navigate awkward money conversations both in business and in your personal life. The issue can be as simple as setting rates for a new project or a social obligation that’s out of your budget. Other times it’s a thorny area, like questioning your royalty statement or asking fellow writers how much they make. It pays to have the ability to tactfully set boundaries and feel comfortable asking hard questions. This webinar in our ongoing Money Matters series will cover a multitude of ways you can engage in awkward money conversations to diffuse the tension and get what you want.
