In this class I share the basics of magazine writing. Tips from generating ideas to editing and publishing a finished piece will be discussed. I will suggest brainstorming techniques and get the students motivated to write about whatever subject of interest they choose. I will provide a list of legitimate contests, scholarships, websites, helpful books and magazines to get any aspiring writer on the road to publication. I will offer a question and answer period before the end of class. This course is basic, although it is jam-packed with exciting information that any student interested in becoming a published writer will need to succeed.
