Whether its finishing your first zine, launching a small press, business or organization, planning a book tour, or opening a shop selling handmade goods, this workshop will help you articulate a mission, create a timeline, set goals, and find resources for your dream project.

Facilitated by Eleanor Whitney, IPRC member and author of "Grow: How to take your do it yourself project and passion to the next level and quit your job!"
