If you’ve ever said, ‘I’d love to write, but I don’t know how to begin,’ then this is the course for you. In Judy’s Online Writing Course you will be doing a lot of writing and you will be receiving detailed, constructive feedback.
By the time you’ve finished you’ll know what’s required to publish short stories and magazine articles. You’ll even understand why Hollywood’s films are as successful as they are, because of that all-important story structure which will greatly assist in the composition of your novel or screenplay. And, that’s only the beginning.
Among many other things, we’ll be looking at:
- Learning which kind of writer you are.
- Plot and how it differs from Story.
- Characterisation: The good, the bad and the Cardboard Cut-outs.
- Why characters’ names matter.
- When dialogue is superior to exposition.
- How ‘showing’ rather than ‘telling’ can make your story come alive.
- How to mine stories when your mind is a blank.
- Writing ‘short’ and writing ‘long.’
- How painting pictures and listening to symphonies have everything to do with writing. Huh? It’s true.
- What does a Features’ Editor mean when he/she asks you what your ‘angle’ is?
- A magazine’s style and why you’d be wise to check it out BEFORE you write for them.
- You mean I must count the words? The reality of being professional in your work.
- The correct way to present a manuscript for publication.
- Deadlines / Kill fees / Competitions.
- Why Hollywood movie scripts are written and rewritten, on average, 30 times; and what you can learn from them for writing your novel.
- Why writing your masterpiece before speaking to a publisher is a dumb move.
To cover everything you need to agree to work hard. I will work just as hard to help you. However, it’ll be a lot of fun as well! Just think. In no time at all you could be on the first rung of the ladder to being published and earning additional income.
I hope to welcome you aboard Judy’s Online Writing Course.
The course is run entirely via e-mail, to allow for times when you might be very busy or be out of town. Whether you return an assignment within one week or three is your decision. I’d rather you took your time and produced your best work.
