Join us May 27th, 7:00-8:00 pm as writer Elizabeth Erlandson shares “How to Write and Sell Your Personal Experiences.”
Elizabeth’s personal experiences articles have been published in dozens of magazines including Today’s Christian Woman, Plus, Sports Spectrum and the Christian Herald and reprinted in The Lookout and Power for Living. The recently released Chicken Soup for the Soul anthology, Be You, includes her story “The Sweetest Game in Town” detailing her experience creating and building a “brick and click” candy store.
Woman’s World magazine published three of Elizabeth’s stories in 2020. She also writes for Bryan Medical Center’s Journeys magazine..
She says, “Writing personal experience articles is accessible to all writers. You may think that other people have more interesting lives than you do, and that may be true. But personal experience writing is not about how interesting or fascinating your life is, it’s about sharing experiences that are meaningful to you and which may help your reader look at her own life with greater insight.”
Elizabeth has included links below to three publications which publish and pay for personal experience stories. Please join us for Elizabeth’s presentation, then use that knowledge to hone your own personal experience story for publication.
