Recently I was in a workshop about literary citizenship, and 3 people were present- 1️⃣ An aspiring author 2️⃣ A seasoned editor 3️⃣ A literary agent The aspiring author was eager to understand how to contribute to the literary community and was full of questions. Here's what the seasoned editor shared that changed everything… Literary citizenship isn’t just about writing your book; it’s about supporting fellow writers, reviewing books, attending events, and nurturing the literary ecosystem as a whole. How are you contributing to the literary community today? #literature #writerscommunity #supportauthors
