 In this follow-up course to 'Mags to Riches: Writing for Magazines 101', instructor Jody T. Morse will lead participants through a brief recap of the basic how-tos of launching a career in magazine writing and then dive into the actual skill and craft of penning brilliant nonfiction articles. In this generative session, attendees will cultivate three lead (or “nutgraf,” to use publishing slang) seedlings that can be turned into pitches or fleshed out into full-length articles. As well, students will learn the art of crafting catchy titles and examine some of the instructor’s favorite articles of all time, gleaning their best attributes. The atmosphere will be a balance of fun and professionalism, friendliness and productivity.
