Writing Essentials online course
Learn how to write clearly and effectively – whether it's for news stories, features, marketing or general writing.
Taught by a former Sydney Morning Herald editor and journalist who worked across almost every section of the newspaper, from travel, entertainment and health to business and technology. He's also worked in marketing, consulted for PR firms and has over a decade's experience in teaching (including at the University of Sydney).
There are plenty of exercises throughout the course that allow you to put theory into practice.
You can study this course at your own pace, whenever it suits you.
Equivalent to a full-day course, with six sessions that each take between 45 minutes to an hour and a half. However, you can start and stop whenever it suits you.
Suited for all skill levels – whether you're a beginner or a pro who needs to refresh your skills.
You'll receive an ebook filled with practical writing tips and techniques, a digital certificate of completion and a free copy of Dealing With Grumpy Editors (an ebook that explains how to pitch stories to the media).
