Non-Fiction Writing Course

The Non-Fiction Writing course explores the various forms of non-fiction genres including autobiographies, biographies, and memoirs, magazines, and newspapers. You learn the techniques of craftsmanship to accurately represent reality in a compelling and dramatic way.

We will award you a certificate on successful completion of the course, but the certificate is not really important if you do not acquire the skills necessary to become a professional writer. Core modules are:

• Modules 1 – 4: The equipment you need as a writer, how to become a professional writer, grammar in writing, and the craft of writing.
• Module 5: Conducting market survey for your writing, analysing writing markets, and selling your writing to the right target audience.
• Module 6 – 7: Writing for newspapers and magazines and how to sell your articles to publications.
• Module 8 – 9: Legal and business approaches to writing.
• Module 10: Writing non-fiction books (autobiographies, biographies, and memoirs).
• Module 11: Publishing your book (Traditional vs Self-publishing).
• Module 12: Book marketing and promotion.
