| | |  | | Course Name: | Article writing and freelance journalism (UK) - Specialist Course (Outright) | | Course Cost: | £173 (UK price, also payable in easy instalments) | | Course Description: | The only way to be sure of selling your material is to write exactly what the editors and publishers are looking for. Therefore your course starts with a review of the editorial policies and requirements of the various market sectors open to you. For each you will see their needs from an editor's-eye view and see exactly where there are opportunities for the freelance writer.
You will learn the techniques many writers use for turning their personal experiences into raw material for saleable writing. You will discover how market research can itself become an idea-finding tool as you learn to identify markets, find saleable angles, and even how to write spin-off material from a single idea.
An important part of the course is a study of the errors most commonly made in their material by inexperienced writers (and all too often, by experienced writers as well). The editorial team at Writers' News have compiled a catalogue of these errors and problems, together with advice on how to avoid them.
Other units you will study cover writing style and technique, interviewing, business procedures and conventions, copyright and how to 'query' an editor. | |
