Overview
There are three ways to take
advantage of all
The
Online Magazine Article Writing Workshop®
has to offer:
|
|
 But first, see if the Workshop
is right for you by asking yourself these questions:
[ Workshop
Topics | Why
Publish? ]
|
|
1.
Thinking of things to write about is easy?
2. Have you ever been
published?
3. Have you been paid to
write an article?
4. Have you ever written
for a national magazine?
5. Have you ever signed
a copyright agreement?
If you answered,
"no" to any one of these questions, consider participating!
|
|
1.
Learn online
at your own pace by purchasing either the Writing for Publication video (Download
sample clip via our home page) or book, and no
matter where you live or work, your host, Erik Bean, along
with tips and suggestions from other renowned
editors and writers, will guide you through the steps necessary to get
your articles published quickly and how to get the most from this
Website. Tape or book includes Website access to the "Lounge."
The lounge is full of more tips and tools not available to the public!
|
|
2. Contact
the Workshop and have it
brought to your
corporation or institution.
|
|
The Online Workshop, method one, offered by
FreelanceWorkshop.com is a self-paced course. Participants buy either
the 2 hour $29.95 video
or $15.99 - 82 page book,
"Writing for Publication" available at this Website or
Amazon.com. After reviewing each or all of the 22 (video/book)
segments, students are encouraged to access the "Participant
Lounge" with a furnished User I.D. and Password.
- There is no enrollment
procedure or deadlines
- Begin anytime and work at
your own pace
The
information presented in the video or book is complete and concise and will
allow participants to begin or maintain a freelance writing career.
There is nothing else to purchase from FreelanceWorkshop.com.
The Participant Lounge contains additional useful tools to help sharpen
your writing as explained here.
If you should have any
questions after reviewing the tape, reading the book, or using the
Participant Lounge, you can join the Q & A Newsletter*, moderated by Erik Bean,
Workshop host. You will likely receive a response to your posted
e-mail question(s), usually within 48 hours. Depending on the student
load, Erik may conduct a live chat room
session in lieu of the e-mailed Q and A newsletter to help disseminate
answers across a broad range of participating writers.
This is a highly
educational and motivational video and every effort has been made to
include only the most useful details about the writing, presenting, and
publishing process.
*
FREELANCEWORKSHOP.COM will not accept questions related to the writing for
publication process via traditional e-mail at
info@freelanceworkshop.com. Please use that e-mail address if you are
having difficulty logging into the Participant Lounge. Be prepared to
e-mail your User I.D., Password, and book serial number (found on the
copyright page) or video serial number (found on the video tape
jacket).
E-mail
support does not include query letter or article critiquing. You are
encouraged, however, to seek a reputable writing group in your area to have
your work reviewed before submitting it for publication. (The lounge
currently features links to more than 25 regional writing groups that may
critique your work, as a paid member). Deadline Communications
reserves the right not to respond to questions and makes no warranty
regarding the amount it can or will answer. This is a free service
irrespective of purchasing the Writing for Publication book or video.
Deadline Communications reserves the right to modify or discontinue this
service anytime.
What ever your choice,
here is a sample of what you get:
The Online Magazine
Article Writing Workshop at FreelanceWorkshop.com is
an interactive creative writing seminar designed to help participants
generate article ideas, put them into a marketable format and submit their
final piece for publication consideration. Participants have
included:
- Archeologists, attorneys,
career changers, chemists, college students, computer programmers,
corporate trainers, environmentalists, high school students, managers,
mid-wifes, nurses, physicians, politicians, professors, retailers,
retirees, school teachers, social workers, and zoologists, for
example.
- Unpublished and recently
published writers.
- Age ranges from 12 to 82.
- Those around North America
who have used the available one-of-a-kind 115 minute video or 82 page
book coupled with the Website's Participant Lounge and those who have
attended local suburban Detroit Workshops from Ann Arbor to Royal
Oak.
- Institutions that have
requested the Workshop be brought directly to them.
What
this Workshop will not do is teach from an elevated attitude as in,
"So you want to get published, now do you?" Instead, you
will find a friendly, positive and "even playing field" attitude
of professionalism that says, "Anyone who has the desire to get
published can succeed."
Thus, this presents
more than enough opportunities for all writers to get that well deserved
byline! To follow is the workshop outline.
