ERIC MAISEL, THE ARTIST'S PSYCHOTHERAPIST
The internationally-known creativity consultant discussed his latest books, shared some writing and business tips, and demonstrated how to effectively talk to agents and editors.
Being a published writer means putting your work (and ego) on the line every day. It's easy to forget your successes when rejections seem to outnumber junk mail.
Eric Maisel, PhD, specializes in helping creative and performing artists in his Concord, California practice and through his books and workshops. His latest work, Living the Writer's Life, is just off the press. Deep Writing - 7 Principles That Bring Ideas to Life, another valuable guidebook, came out in February '99. Affirmations for Artists ('96) gives concrete how-to’s to get past the challenges writers face, demonstrating the empathy Maisel has with his clients and all those who struggle to make their writing a success. He has also written several novels. His experiences with his own work and that of others was a highlight of his talk. We learned how to leap over the barriers that keep us from writing and publishing!
