One of the Beta students on my new personal essay course just sold her first essay!
You can write on platforms like Medium and on your own blog, but there’s nothing like the feeling of selling a story. Actually, I think I get more excited when new writers sell a piece than when I sell my own!!
This is my final email about the October intake of the Meaningful and Timely Essays course.
This course won’t run again until March next year. This is your chance to work on polishing an essay ready to send out into the world. And then keep sending them out for the rest of your career!
Don’t let fear stop you taking the next step in you writing career.
Next month I’ll be running a series on using social media as a writer—is it important?
Quite a few of you have asked about it and I’m looking forward to diving into discussions around what works and what’s a waste of time.
Thanks, Rosy. Very kind words. This one was one of my writing students selling her piece though (not me). She wrote a gorgeous personal essay during my course and sold it to an Australian online magazine. Although I've sold plenty of pieces this month too, so thank you!
I’m so thrilled for you Kelly - you deserve recognition. You’re a great writer.
