Freelance and Promotional Writing for Publications and Social Media

A broad course that dips in to the many forms of freelance and promotional writing for use in both printed and online publications, learning how stories work in a short form can also provide a gateway into longer writing projects.
A six unit online course that helps those who wish to write for specialised magazines or national newspapers. Students will be guided on how to undertake and write up an interview, how to write reviews for books, films or performance events – this may be for local ‘what’s on guides’, to share on your own blog or social media pages or for national papers or magazines.
Many of us need to put together our own websites in this day and age, this course will guide the student through writing for websites and other promotional writing.
The course will include videos and voice notes to guide the student as well as exercises and mini research projects.
