Course Description
Are you interested in writing about paranormal phenomena or psychic experiences?
This six-week course is a continuation of Writing About Your Experiences - Part I, but it focuses the creation of a longer, book-length manuscript. Your project can relate to any genre: memoir, fiction, reportage, etc., and you do not have to write a complete book during this class. A number of chapters can get you started on your way to a fully developed book.
The first two weeks of the course will focus on purpose, organization, structure, and marketing. A gap of over a month will provide the opportunity for you to write some chapters that will be used for the final four weeks of the course when we will focus on critiquing and revising these chapters. Many people feel that it's hard to write without an audience in mind; in this class, you'll have an ideal one — other students interested in paranormal experiences.
REQUIREMENTS: You should have taken Writing About Your Experience - Part I or have extensive writing experience in order to get the most out of this course.
This class has limited enrollment to facilitate discussion and review.
When: Live broadcasts once a week or watch the class recordings at your convenience.
Where: This is an ONLINE COURSE, so you can participate anywhere you have an internet connection.
