Free Non-Fiction Writing Course

Good Morning readers. I have another busy day ahead of me, but before I jet off to my next virtual conference, I wanted to share something I discovered on Wordsy.com. Fiona Veitch Smith, a.k.a. the Crafty Writer, is sponsoring a free (yes you heard right–FREE) eight week non-fiction writing course. 

Ms. Smith is a freelance journalist, author, playwright and writing teacher based in Newcastle, England. WAIT! don’t click away, yet, location is not an issue. Although the course began on October 5th, YOU CAN STILL PARTICIPATE. Ms. Smith is offering the friday sessions on her blog where you can join the workshop online. (You can also review the sessions you’ve missed.) I know I’ll be there.

These are the topics she’s discussing:

1. Opportunities for non-fiction writing, finding ideas, letters to the editor.
2. Non-fiction writing styles: journalistic vs narrative prose. Keeping it brief.
3. Blogging and other internet opportunities.
4. Writing from life. Autobiography and opinion pieces.
5. Articles for specialist magazines.
6. Travel writing.
7. Writing a non-fiction book proposal and approaching editors.
8. Copyright, libel and finance.

See you there!
