| | |  | | Course Name: | Polish your writing style (UK) - Beginners Course (Outright) | | Course Cost: | £140 (UK price, also payable in easy instalments) | | Course Description: | Writing style is all about your choice of words and the order in which you use them. This unique course aims to help you acquire a professional writing style: a style that magazine and publishing editors will recognise as polished and coherent and (above all) saleable.
You will be shown how to use the rules to achieve a balance in your writing and by learning the rules you will know exactly where and why to bend or even break them, and achieve a lively and interesting style with all the pace that the modern reader demands.
How should you structure paragraphs? What factors should influence your sentence length? What is the difference between a topic sentence and a what-next sentence and when should you use these sentences? These are typical questions your course addresses and will give you a flavour of the kind of work you will be tackling.
At the end of each unit you will be set practical assignments. Some of these will involve rewriting entire passages in order to correct stylistic faults. Others will invite you to write sentences, paragraphs and sometimes longer passages, in which you demonstrate the use of certain stylistic devices and techniques. As you near the end of your course, you will be able to send, as part of your assignment, manuscripts that you have had rejected in order that your tutor can help correct style faults. Or, if you are a new writer and have not yet submitted anything for publication,you may send your tutor a manuscript that you hope to have published. | |
