About this course:
In today’s competitive and ever-changing literary environment, it is crucial for writers to build an online presence. Publishing personal essays, micro-nonfiction or reported stories well before finishing a manuscript or signing a book deal allows authors to develop a niche while establishing themselves as experts in their field of interest. In this course, writers learn how to find and research publications, how to approach editors seeking content and how to write a winning pitch. Using real-world examples of successful pitch letters and proven strategies, this class is part lecture, part hands-on workshop. Students will walk away with a readymade pitch letter, a template for moving forward and a list of resources to help place future stories.
