Six Week Email Classes from Wordsmith Writer

Here is a message from Peggy Phifer,

the editor of the Wordsmith Writer.

Something New!! Janice Thompson will be bringing us a course on "Getting Creative About Being Creative" in an email lesson format beginning Monday, July 11, 2005, and running for six weeks, ending the week of August 15th.

Here is the layout of Janice's Classes:
WEEK ONE: Building Your Writing House (with a thorough introduction to biblical creativity)
WEEK TWO: Sensory Writing
WEEK THREE: Personification
WEEK FOUR: Creative Characterization
WEEK FIVE: Field Trip Ideas for Creative Thinkers
WEEK SIX: Creatively Improving Your Writing Skills

Here's how it works: This is an interactive class. Each Monday of the course, Janice (or the current instructor) will send out the week's lesson and assignment. You will have the entire week to work on it, fully able to post questions throughout the week, and Janice will respond. The cost of this course is $15, payable through your PayPal account or online at PayPal using a credit card. This small fee will be for the entire course and will go to the support of Wordsmith Shoppe.

Each course will be conducted via email. There is no specific online time or location - all you need is a valid email address.

To register for the class send an email to: WSClass-subscribe@topica.com. Registration will be approved upon verification of your class fee.

Mark your calendars for July 11, and get your registration fee paid in plenty of time so there will be no delay in getting into the class when we begin. Click here to register now.

I am really excited about this new way to help writers. These courses will be a more "hands-on" class than we are able to cover in a one-hour chat. I sincerely hope you'll consider taking part. I'm looking for other classes to bring to you in the coming months.

Coming in September:
Authors should consider the very real benefits of creating a newsletter as a huge tool to help with their marketing strategy. I am working with Staci Stallings to bring this course to Wordsmith Shoppe. It would start -tentatively - in September and run for about eight weeks, ending in mid-to late November.
