Careers in our field have evolved and continue to evolve in two ways: The paths of practice and job descriptions for writers are expanded AND there are opportunities for practitioners to grow into new positions, leveraging their writing and editing proficiencies as transferable skills. This talk will share true stories of Bay Area writing professionals and the work that they do, stories that may surprise and encourage you. About the Speaker: |
