What are your interests or hobbies? Do you like travel, books, politics? Chances are if you’re doing it, there’s an article in it. Learning the art of writing feature articles for newspapers and magazines could be a way for you to turn your interests into a freelance writing career.
Our Magazine and Newspaper Writing course is one of our most popular. During this five-week course you’ll learn all about what editors want, how to research your story, where to find inspiration and, most importantly, how to sell your article.

Turn your blog into book
Ever wondered what it would take to turn your regular musings on your blog into a book deal? Well, Kerri Sackville knows all about it, and in our two-hour seminar Blog to Book, she’ll share her secrets with you.
In 2011 Kerri’s first book, When My Husband Does the Dishes: A Memoir of Marriage and Motherhood was published after her blog caught the attention of Random House. She’s now just days away from the release of her second book, The Little Book of Anxiety.
In this session, hosted by me, Valerie Khoo, Kerri will reveal how to build a fan base for your blog, the types of posts you should be writing and, most importantly, how you can grab the attention of a publisher.
What past participants say:
“The seminar completely provided what I was hoping for. Kerri was open and generous with sharing information. It was great also to have Valerie’s input and wisdom. A perfect pairing.”
- Lisa Schofield
“Kerri was very informative and enthusiastic and had lots of great tips.”
