Share this event:

You don't just want to post on Facebook about your neighbor's organic silkworm farm -- creating the next Julie & Julia project is more your style. Can we add a book deal to that? If this is what you had in mind, then this is the class for you! Blog guru and successful journalist Natasha Vargas-Cooper (who procured a book deal and a writing gig from her blogs) will show you craft a blog that gets noticed. She'll cover the essentials of blog writing and share samples of some of the hottest blogs on the web. Natasha will help you create a compelling concept for your blog and niche your project firmly in the blogosphere. By the end of this class, you'll have written the first entry of your stellar new blog faster than you can say "Stuff White People Like" and get detailed instructor feedback on a blog post or concept.
