I attended a conference that hosted a panel of writers and publishers. Happy to share what I took from the writers panel with you.
- 10 tips that one writer gave
- Think about writing before reporting. Reporting will be natural and more apparent the deeper you get into the story.
- He or she who hesitates “gets scooped.”
- What you need:
- To be gregarious
- To prepare
- To know when to cut bait (get out of a situation)
- To have faith in the project
- To make something new
- When writing a book, always try to find more time. Time that is constructed for the sole purpose of writing.
- “Most important picture is the next one, not the last one,” said a the photojournalist.
Lastly, and worth not having in a bullet point, always try to keep a project going.
