On this episode of Courage to Create, Bethany tackles the sticky subject of self-promotion through Jennifer Weiner’s recent Publisher’s Weekly article, “Deconstructing ‘I Wrote A Thing.’”
Writers, especially women, struggle to promote our own work without falling into the familiar trap of self-deprecating “humble-brags.” How can we reframe self-promotion to remove shame and prioritize connection? How can women writers stop letting male writers be the confident ones? Listen as Bethany works through these questions by reflecting on both Weiner’s article and her own personal life.
