Creative Writing: From Idea to Publishing: An Overview هذه الدورة تدرس باللغة الإنجليزية

تفاصيل الدورة

This is an overview of thirteen critically important areas for fiction writers. If you are one of the 90% of adults who want to write--and publish--a book, then this course is for you. This course will provide an outline of what you should consider as, and even before, you begin to place your words on the page. It has four sections. 

The first is the introduction, beginning with a summary of my qualifications to teach the course: an undergraduate degree in English and teaching English (literature, grammar, writing) at the secondary level. I also have a doctorate in Educational Leadership and have taught doctoral level courses online for the last twelve years. For my last course just completed, my overall ratings from students was a 9.833 out of 10. The introduction also includes a discussion of what creative writing is . . . and is not. 

The second section addresses pre-writing issues: where you can get ideas; know your audience; know your genre; and a look at the importance of titles and covers.

Section three presents an overview of the critically-important components of the story. It begins with a lesson on characters, followed by lectures on plot and setting, and concludes with a lesson on voice and point of view. 

The final section provides an overview on getting ready to publish and then ends with a discussion of publishing options.

I have three novels available in print and Kindle ebook on Amazon. All are rated at this time as 5-Star. I can help you avoid some of the pitfalls that I encountered as I began writing and publishing my books.
