Need help finding markets? Tired of harvesting rejection slips instead of checks? Bring a professional writer and mentor into your home or office via e-mail to teach you how to get your articles and books published.
This workshop starts with the basics. In Lesson One ("Yes, You Can"), you get an overview on markets and evaluate your publishing options. Lesson Two ("It Doesn't Have to be Scary") explains the two basic rules of publishing your writing, what editors and agents really want, and how to clearly lay it out for them! Lessons Three and Four focus on the specific areas of non-fiction you're interested in pursuing.
You will earn 0.5 Continuing Education Units (CEUs), ( 0.8 CEUs if you sign up for the critique option), when you complete this online writing course. Work at your own pace and take up to a year to finish.
He has published hundreds of articles in national and international magazines and has authored 20 non-fiction books (including Freeing Your Creativity from Writer's Digest Books) and three novels. He also edits Creativity Connection, a newsletter for writers and independent publishers.
As a professor for the University of Wisconsin—Madison, he teaches workshops, classes, and online courses on writing and publishing.
You can start our workshops anytime, and there are no required hours to log on. It's all done with one-on-one correspondence with the instructor using email. Some classes have materials on a web site, but you can access those at your leisure with a password that we will give you. We have writers from around the world participating in our workshops, and we have success stories. A lot of great writing gets accomplished via email. Because of the one-on-one nature of our workshops, you'll find them an excellent "coaching" or mentoring situation that will keep you going. And if you want to just work on your own-hey, that's fine too. Of course you can do the suggested exercises on your own and pass on the feedback if you'd rather do that. We're also here throughout the year if you have questions.
For the basic $135 fee, you get a specific, detailed critique of an article or portion of a book, up to 4,000 words. Register and start the course at any time.
