LESSONS

Lesson 1. Working to Specification.

Lesson 2. Publishing On Line (Using online Management Systems for Electronic Publication)

Lesson 3. Writing and Submitting Articles

Lesson 4. Revising Submitted Work

Under the guidance of a mentor (a writing/editing tutor), you will learn to write according to specific criteria, deal with a publisher, and communicate effectively with others involved in the publishing process. And, you will come away with at least one published work (maybe more), which will set you on the path to a career as a writer. No matter what you want to write, you will find this a great learning experience.

This module gives you hands-on experience in writing for a publication. You will work with a tutor (member of our academic staff) who will oversee your role as writer for an online publication, for one edition of that publication.
