Q: I'm an aspiring Latinx writer, living in Canada, where Latin culture is under-represented. I'd like to build my network in the US, where the market is stronger and I can find more latin peers. What are the best ways to connect, considering that I'm in a different country (I speak both English and Spanish and am an immigrant here)?
A: The internet proves a lot of different options to connect with other writers! Whether it’s on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, there are thriving writing communities. Join a Facebook group that focuses on your genre, follow writers on a similar path like yours, or comment on content that speaks to your genre. You can also look for online writing groups with available space for new members or start your own.
However, when trying to network, it’s always important to respect other peoples’ time and privacy!
