What I Wish I'd Known When Starting Out in Horror

One of the most effective (but draining) ways for writers to learn is through making mistakes...lots of mistakes. But what if you could cut down on these "learning moments" by getting some inside information from someone who's already been through that gauntlet. In the horror community’s tradition of paying forward and with the aim of decreasing participants’ learning curves, a veteran horror writer shares what he wishes he’d known when starting his career. This is an OnDemand webinar.
