Nowadays a writer’s web presence helps them get noticed and can even be a path to publication. But how do you start, what can you write about and who is your audience? This course will develop your voice online, help you create a successful blog and give you the confidence to use other social media tools effectively.
(NB Students will not build websites from scratch.)
