Whether you are already a professional writer, earning your living from your skills and talents or you're just starting out, this class will give you an overview of seven different ways you can launch a writing career in a new direction with just a few steps. Students will be able to identify a writing career that best suits their skills and interests and will workshop strategies and writing assignments that can lead them on a path towards success within that writing field. Participants will explore genres such as blogging, copywriting, grant and proposal writing, book publishing, business/technical writing, journalism and PR writing. Today is the age of the "gig economy," and freelancers are in extra-high demand to work on retainer for other companies or to contract on long-term and short-term projects. They even have an opportunity to branch off on their own and create their own branded content. Through this course, students can get an idea of where they might fit-in and begin work to start a new journey in professional writing.
About the Instructor:
Daphne Taylor Street has been a professional writer in the Tampa Bay area for more than 18 years a rather unnatural progression from her first career as an opera singer. Daphne is best known for her proposal writing, winning millions of dollars worth of contracts for both nonprofit and for profit companies across the globe, and also for her published articles, copywriting and books she has written for clients. Daphne's true ambition, however, includes writing strange fiction novels whilst curled up in the sand on some remote beach. If you dont find her there, shes likely roaming the streets of her native downtown St. Petersburg drinking too much coffee and excitedly dragging passersby into small local shops.
