MINDING THE LITERARY ESTATE
Too many writers transition without making any provisions for the dissemination, publication or archiving of their work. Decisions are often left to family members or friends.
Much of the time, these individuals either:
a) would like to have the work published but have no idea how to go about it, or
b) have absolutely no interest in the writer’s creative life.
This workshop will explore:
1) the role of a literary executor,
2) the type of discussion the writer needs to initiate.
3) what needs to be discussed with family members if they are not the literary executor.
