Blog Writing Intensive
GUIDE TO NONFICTION COURSES
The Blog Writing Intensive happens in a short time span (1 day in NYC, or 2 days on Zoom). The course includes a mixture of lectures and blog assignments. It’s open to writers of any level. Farther down, you can view a syllabus for this course.
Everyone and their cousins have (or had) a blog. But how many are well written? Truly interesting or entertaining or useful? Maintained on a regular basis? Enjoyed by a wide circle of people? Precious few.
The key is to write posts so good even total strangers will be drawn to your blog.
Here you will learn the specialized craft of writing blog content. Writing conversationally, but not sloppily. Writing concisely, but with just enough substance. Writing with structure, voice, credibility, and a point to each post.
Whether you’re blogging for a business, to establish yourself in a field, or just to spread your creative wings, we’ll show you how to win over readers on a recurring basis.
A great course for everyone: those who are starting from scratch on the whole blogging process, or those who want to fine tune what they already know.
