On September 30, 2024, author and corporate trainer Terry Mante shared exciting insights in an interview with Eric Otchere on Inspiring Net about his upcoming Authorpreneurship Workshop.
Scheduled for October 12, 2024, at the Airport West Hotel in Accra, this workshop promises to provide authors, writers, and creatives with valuable tools for turning their talents into sustainable income.
Terry emphasized the challenges creatives face when trying to transition their passion into a profitable career. Reflecting on his own journey, he shared how difficult it can be to sell books and make a living solely from writing. “You can write a book, but it may take months to sell even a few copies. The printing costs alone can eat up most of the profit,” Terry remarked.
His experiences inspired him to create the Authorpreneurship Workshop, where he aims to equip attendees with strategies for navigating these obstacles.
One of the workshop’s core lessons is the need for continuous skill improvement and diversification. Terry stressed that writing talent alone is not enough for long-term success. “You have to become good at your craft,” he said.
He highlighted the importance of developing complementary skills such as public speaking, which has played a crucial role in his own career. “Writing helps me create content, but public speaking allows me to deliver the message and earn from it,” he explained.
Beyond traditional book sales, Terry encourages writers to explore innovative ways to monetize their talents. One example is his upcoming Empowerment Series, which will feature motivational quotes and ideas on products like T-shirts and mugs. This approach, Terry explained, allows creatives to reach broader audiences in new ways.
For those attending the workshop, Terry promises practical guidance on building a successful writing career. Topics will include business planning, publishing insights, and strategies for monetizing creative work beyond conventional formats.
With an affordable registration fee of GHC300, covering breakfast and other provisions, the event offers excellent value for those serious about transforming their creative passions into profitable ventures. Registration is simple, with multiple payment options available, ensuring accessibility for all.
Terry Mante’s Authorpreneurship Workshop is set to be a transformative experience, offering attendees the knowledge and tools to elevate their creative careers.
