Writing for Publishing: for writers who want to reach a public audience

Writing for Publishing is the title of a new educational initiative designed specifically for authors, writers, independent publishers. It aims to equip authors and writers with both the tools and the skills necessary to write to and reach a public audience in today's publishing environment.

It is a creative writing course for the modern publishing age, emphasising the all-important connection between writing and publishing: how one informs the other and how the two operate in today's era of digital media and mass, global communications. Prospective authors and writers will learn how to develop their writing skills with a view to getting published. They will learn to seek out, identify and take advantages of writing and publishing opportunities that present themselves.

A lot is changing in the world of publishing; changes that are long-term and irreversible; ushered in mainly by advances in technology. The world of publishing is open, after a long period in which it may have seemed that it was closed. "As writers we are no longer content to simply write and let publishers publish," says Oscar Duggan, course director. "Nor should we be so content: if we want to be successful in our various enterprises, we cannot afford to be.”

A complete course outline, including course materials, contact details and how to book a group seminar or presentation is available from the Writing for Publishing website - www.writingforpublishing.com
