The great advantage of freelance writing is that
it can be done either in conjunction with another career, or as a career in itself,
and can be a very well paid profession, whether part-time or full-time. This course
is an ideal starting point and covers the whole field of modern freelance writing.
Flexible in its approach, it is geared to the specific needs of each individual
writer.
The scope is huge - 8,000 periodicals are published
in the UK alone, ranging from newspapers, magazines and the controlled circulation
press to technical, scientific, and in-house journals. It is quite usual for over
50% of written content in any one publication to have been supplied by freelance
writers.
Your tutor will concentrate on those subjects
which interest you most, and those of which you have detailed knowledge. Many
new writers start by making their hobby or profession their specialised field
and over 80% of our students have had work published by the time they complete
the course. To see a detailed list of the topics covered, look at the syllabus.
12 modules, with assignments including feature articles,
outlines, reports and reviews.
