JMC 5001     Sec. 901      CRN 34731

Sat. 4/25/15       9 a.m.-5 p.m.

Online session 3:

MAKING A LIVING AS A WRITER is how to get going as a professional writing books and movies.  The class is likely to touch on magazines and the web, briefly. 

This class focuses on issues like what the financial prospects are in each area, what the customary business practices are, whether to start publishing books traditionally or digitally, how to get entry into the biz, what agents, editors, and producers actually do, what's in contracts and what to watch out for in them, how book production works (movie production is too complicated to get into), how to do social marketing, and more. 

Not a course on how to write but a course on how to become an established pro.  

There will be reading to do in advance and a booklet to write after class.
Enrollment still open for 5000-level e-publishing pro practice course
