Writer Mama Riffs on Raising A Writing Career Alongside Your Kids

Linda Formichelli asked me to pass this info on to you about her upcoming class. Linda has been a great example of freelance success and authorship for me over the years.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I have not taken Linda’s class, so I cannot answer questions about how the class is structured or whether it is like the classes I teach. If you are interested in registering or learning more, please contact Linda directly. I’m sure she’s happy to answer any and all questions. Here’s the course description:

Linda Formichelli, co-author of The Renegade Writer and The Renegade Writer’s Query Letters That Rock, teaches an 8-week e-course on how to break into magazines. The next session starts on Monday, May 21. In eight weekly lessons, Linda will walk you through:

• Coming up with a salable idea
• Finding markets that would be interested in your idea
• Finding the right editors to send your idea to
• Interviewing people for the query letter (the proposal that sells the editor on your idea and yourself as a writer)
• Writing a winning query letter
• Getting your query out the door!

Students have landed assignments with Writer’s Digest, Woman’s Day, For Me, E: The Environmental Magazine, Pizza Today, Michigan Out-Of-Doors, and more. For more details, please visit http://www.lindaformichelli.com/course. To ask Linda questions about the course, e-mail linda-eric@lserv.com.

[Please note: Maybe this goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway since we are living in a new world of affiliate marketing, paid reviews, and referral fees. I am recommending Linda based on her terrific track record and integrity and not because I'm getting a kick-back. This is also not a paid advertisement.]
