Hi all! I'm offering my Science and Nature Writing bootcamp starting January 7 (maybe starting the 14th) at a super discounted rate of $150; it's normally $200. I have also extended the format from 6 to 8 weeks which gives everyone more time.
I know that's really short notice but I hope I get some takers. You'll have to pay by credit or debit card or PayPal (wendeenic...@gmail.com) -- if you have any problems email me. This is a class to teach people, including scientists, graduate students or professors, who are considering writing for a career or to make a little extra money, but don't know how to break into decent paying magazines or online publications. It focuses less on the craft of writing and more on the how to get published -- although there are a couple of assignments where I give feedback on your writing. There are five weekly assignments and there is more information here www.wendeenicole.com/Nature.HTM or you can look at the course outline at www.wendeenicole.com/outline.HTM We also get quite a few journalists who want to break into more environmental /science markets, but I suspect this audience is more ecologist/grad student :-) This is a really good deal. I've taught this class on my own for 15 years, & I've offered this rate to people retaking or who have reached out to me individually in the past, I've never offered it to all. I'm trying to get a couple more people and my next class which I may even push back to January 14 but not later. For those of been on this list for a while I'm still in Uganda running Redemption Song Foundation (inspired by Elinor Ostrom's principles) helping indigenous Batwa/ Twa Pygmy forest people regain some environmental justice (we're hoping to plant trees at some point in the medium term future in their settlements). We just got the village I work in clean water and we're about to turn on the taps in a few days!
