Along the way, gain a strong understanding of who you are as a writer; best practices for strengthening your writing; clear knowledge of possible career tracks; and comfortable (or at least, not wildly uncomfortable) professional networking and communication skills. Students are invited to bring samples of writing to submit for workshops and instructor’s notes. By the end of this course, you’ll learn networking techniques, up to date facts about the publishing world, jobs available across the landscape of writing and a heightened skill in the craft of writing.
