We’re seeing a lot of division over politics lately, especially in social media, where it’s easy to make a quick, mean meme out of an unflattering photo. The “Likes” may rack up, but how can we encourage productive conversation? Stephen Cataldo, a guest from our January indie writer workshop, aimed to tackle this issue with his latest book.
What has he been up to since January?
“I’ve published and begun marketing Cognitive Politics: a Communications Workbook for Progressives!” He says. The book, which is part research, part workbook, helps advocates of compassionate and hopeful politics to listen and to be heard across that divide.
“Now I’m working on a poster & video Social Media Guide for Progressives: Tweet and Share to Help Your Cause, and have been giving workshops on Talking Across Partisan Divides.”
Stephen took Robert Kroese‘s ‘Earning through Self-Publishing’ workshop in January. The experience changed his initial strategy to take advantage of Amazon’s promotional tools.
“At the workshop, I changed my initial plans and went exclusively with Amazon for the e-book for the first three months.”
