We have a few more spots in the upcoming Online Writing Bootcamp that starts Oct 15, and runs 8 weeks (previous classes went only 6 weeks). The class focuses on how to get published, what magazines (and online outlets) are looking for, how to write a query letter, how to create a good ³angle² (peg, hook) of any story idea, and the like. I¹ve had students sign up who have never published anything especially scientists, students and professionals who want to write about their work or similar topics and established professional writers who want to gain insight into science/nature/travel markets.
I¹ve been a writer for 2 decades, published in many outlets including Nature, Scientific American, Environmental Health Perspectives, TakePart.com, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel online, and more. I have relationships with editors at many magazines having met them at conferences and have insight into what they¹re looking for through a series of Q&As that various editors have given for the class. There are 5 assignments and I give personal feedback on each one, answer any questions about publishing and writing, and provide everyone with numerous other helpful resources throughout the class. More info is here: www.wendeenicole.com/nature.htm and the class outline (still geared at the 6 week format) is www.wendeenicole.com/outline.htm Let me know if you have any questions! I think it might be great for some ECOLOGGERS :) Wendee Wendee Nicole, M.S; Founder & Director, REDEMPTION SONG FOUNDATION http://www.redemptionsongfoundation.org <http://www.redemptionsongfoundation.org/> Growing Healthy Communities and Sustainable Ecosystems in Africa Donate: https://www.gofundme.com/redemptionsong Freelance Writer * Photographer * Bohemian (http://www.wendeenicole.com <http://www.wendeenicole.com/> ) **Next online 8-wk Magazine Writing Bootcamp starts Sep 24 (wendeenicole.com/nature.htm)**
