Professional Writing

Introduction

Do you long to call yourself a professional? By taking this two-week course, you will be. This course will provide you with enough resources and contacts to keep your career as a professional writer going long after you've stopped reading.

The rewarding career is about to begin: you will be creating your own free websites, which will be nothing short of an online party for professional minded writers. The site will reveal the services you aim to offer future clients. This is an efficient and necessary avenue for displaying and updating services, and for allowing potential clients to view them.

But let's not forget "the basics:” we will explore facts pertaining to copyright and "use rights," keeping abreast of trends via leading sources like Editor & Publisher and Writer's Digest, and learning "the write etiquette" when it comes to dealing with clients.

You will learn ways to hone skills through intimate study of professional writing samples, from Writer's Digest insiders to professional author websites, and you will learn how to "imitate the best,” finding new ways to develop your own successful style!

Additionally, through examination of public demand, you will be able to incorporate into your personal agendas a knowledge of which writing sells.

You will soon discover your writing is worth more than pennies on the professional pay scale, and top local and national editorial contacts will gather under your belt within two weeks’ time. Through our study of top professionals and trends, you will gain resources that will allow you to produce resalable work able to pass tests of time. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from learning these quality ways to market work so you can sell to markets over and over again, for many years to come, allowing you to gain quality contacts and higher pay.

Once you've learned how to become a polished writer / businessperson, you will have begun your prosperous path as a professional.

The popular notion that "it is hard to break into the writing business" is mere fallacy. Editors are ALWAYS willing to read writers' offerings, and they will accept them if they are clean, concise products appealing to the overall public.

All you have to do is take a two-week course that shows you how.

So rejoice, fellow writers! You are about to learn everything you need to know in order to write for a living!
