DESCRIPTION: This event is over; if you missed registering but would still like to purchase access to the recording\, please email us at info[at]hippocampusmagazine[dot]com for details.  \nWhile writing is in many ways an artistic endeavor that challenges us to take creative leaps and indulge our muses\, thinking analytically and spending time with data can actually help us improve our craft and be more effective in our writing practice. \nIn this session\, digital strategist and writer Mandy Pennington will explore: \n\nWhat analytics are and how they can be used to understand the space you currently occupy in the conversations around your work\nBasic analytics programs that can give you greater insight into where your readers come from and how they interact with you\nTools for researching and understanding audiences who might be most interested in engaging with you and your work\nStrategies for analyzing your own work and performance\nHow data can be used to strengthen your book proposal\, brainstorm new work\, and more!\n\nBy the end of this session\, writers should feel more comfortable with data without the fear of losing the soul of what makes their work uniquely compelling and personal. \nNote: In an event survey we did several months back\, this topic was suggested a few times. We heard you! And we hope to answer this question (WTF is analytics!) for you in a fun and meaningful way. \nAbout the series: How-To Tuesdays are monthly talks on the craft of creative nonfiction\, publishing\, marketing and the writing life led by Hippocampus Magazine editors & contributors.
