As part of its ongoing celebration of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2024, SLUDTERA Inc. hosted the thought-provoking virtual panel discussion Writers Are Entrepreneurs Too! This event, held on Day 3 of the week-long celebration, brought together writers, creative minds, and aspiring entrepreneurs to challenge the long-standing myth that “there’s no money in writing” and to affirm that writers are indeed entrepreneurs.
Moderated by SLUDTERA’s own Founder & CEO, Michelle Samuel, the panel featured two powerhouse speakers: the accomplished Dr. Nadine Collins, an inspirational author and speaker, and Delia Louis, a multifaceted writer and creative entrepreneur. Together, they shared their experiences, insights, and strategies for leveraging writing as a viable and rewarding entrepreneurial venture.
The Event: A Celebration of Creativity and Entrepreneurship
The discussion opened with Michelle Samuel setting the tone for the event, highlighting the importance of integrating creativity with entrepreneurial thinking. She emphasized that writers are not only storytellers but also business people who must market their work, manage finances, and build lasting relationships with their audience.
Dr. Nadine Collins, who has authored multiple books and built a thriving career around her writing, spoke passionately about her journey. She shared how she overcame challenges to turn her love for writing into a source of empowerment and financial independence. “Writing is not just about putting words on a page—it’s about building a legacy, creating value, and touching lives,” Dr. Collins noted.
Delia Louis brought a dynamic perspective to the discussion, sharing her evolution as a writer and creative entrepreneur. Her practical tips on monetizing one’s craft and using digital platforms to expand reach captivated the audience. She stressed the importance of perseverance.
Global Entrepreneurship Week: A Platform for Change
Global Entrepreneurship Week, a worldwide initiative celebrated in over 180 countries, is a time to connect, inspire, and empower entrepreneurs across industries. With the theme Entrepreneurship is for Everyone, this year’s celebration has spotlighted inclusivity and innovation, and SLUDTERA’s event perfectly aligned with these goals.
“Writers are often undervalued as entrepreneurs,” Michelle Samuel explained during the event. “Today’s panel was about breaking down those barriers and showing that writing is not just an art—it’s a business that can change lives.”
