I really loved teaching my freelance writing classes locally for the past few years. But with my shift to food writing and a kid who has a more vibrant social life than I, teaching was one thing I had to cut out in the last year.
However, I’ve figured out a way to teach online. I think this is going to be great because I can reach beyond Boston. Now it doesn’t matter where you are — you can take my fun 3-week workshop! The other thing I did differently was focus on my favorite part of freelancing — generating salable story ideas for editors. It’s the part of my in-person class I found the most exciting. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has a story to tell sell and I get a kick out of showing my students they have dozens of ideas right in front of them. They just need to learn how to see them.
This workshop came about when, maybe a year ago I was talking to my writer friend Sandra, sharing with her some of my idea-generating tips and she said, “You should really teach a course in this.” It took me awhile to gather my thoughts, tips, and ideas, but finally this week I finished the three-week workshop. And now I’m really excited to share this with the world.
So check out my class page. If you have any questions about the workshop, send an e-mail to diana at ninetofive dot com and I’ll be happy to answer them.
