Since 2013, I have been giving writing courses at Elder College located at the University of the Fraser Valley in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Each course covered non-fiction, fiction, articles and editorials, memoirs, writing for children, publishing and marketing.
Writing a story begins long before you start writing a story. After writing for over 50 years, I want to share what I have learned with anyone who plans on starting a writing career, wants to enhance their skills, or who wants to take their writing to another level.
In early July I will be launching my first mini course on mastering journalism interviews. Creating this course has been a lot of fun and a lot of memories rekindled interviewing fascinating people over the decades. The course covers types of interviews, your mindset, research, making contact, crafting open-ended questions, active listening skills, guiding the interview, coping with unexpected challenges, ethical journalism and so much more. I am really excited about this course.
Watch for an announcement on my home page! There will be more courses to come this summer!
