Description

As digital storytelling continues to grow more popular, writers must know how to use new media to their advantage. A blog is a powerful tool for honing your craft and developing an author/entrepreneurial brand. A well-written blog can help you showcase your work, develop an online audience, or, in some cases, make connections with literary agents. In this course, you’ll create and develop your own blog using WordPress, the most popular and comprehensive blogging platform available. You’ll learn how to self-promote using social media and grow your readership using search engine optimization. Workshops focus on literary aspects, such as how to develop a distinctive voice, maintain thematic continuity and create compelling short narratives.
