Writing for Magazines and Journals
Learn how to write compelling nonfiction for hungry magazine markets. Topics we’ll address include: types of nonfiction; finding and developing ideas; form, organization, and first drafts; revision strategies and style. We’ll also discuss market research techniques, submission protocols, and ways to make editors take notice. Blogging and social media will be included as a ‘brand-building tool’ as will ‘best practices of good magazine/newspaper’ article-writing. In-class writing exercises and some at-home reading will be required. Throughout the course, you will also be offered feedback towards the development of a publishable magazine story of your own.
