Writers Table: Expanding Your Horizons Beyond Your Book featuring Lucinda Jackson

January 14, 2023

After decades as a PhD scientist and corporate executive, and now as a certified career and retirement counselor, Lucinda consults, writes and speaks about environmental issues, women in the workplace and life after career. Lucinda recently served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Palau and as a science teacher in Mexico. See her books, articles, podcasts and speeches: www.lucindajackson.com.

Once you write a book, is that it? No! After writing my books over the last 6 years, I’ve found the world has opened up in so many ways. This presentation will explore the many avenues I’ve discovered to extend my reach, collaborate with other authors, publish articles, appear on radio and podcasts, write a magazine column, join organizations, speak at diverse events and start my own business. This Writers Table will offer ideas on how to expand your own horizons beyond publishing your book.
