Writing Magazine Articles That Sell
An online writing course unique to Writing to Inspire and facilitated by Elizabeth Bezant
Of all the different kinds of writing that I have done, none has been more financially rewarding than article writing. Therefore if you are looking for extra income or, in fact, an income from your writing, this is not a market to overlook.
An article is a non-fiction piece of writing designed to inform the reader. Look in any magazine and you will find articles. Look in any Newsagency and you will see countless magazines that are regularly replaced by newer issues of the same publication (containing still further articles). This is the beauty of writing articles for magazines - there is always a constant need for them.
Across the world there are countless editors open to receiving your articles. The skill though is sending them exactly what they are after. You might write the perfectly structured, grammatically correct article but if you haven’t targeted it correctly, chances are you will be receiving a form rejection letter, not a cheque.
That is where this course, ‘Writing Magazine Articles That Sell’, comes in. Benefit from my experience as an article writer and columnist. Let me share with you how to research the market, how to target your magazine, how to know exactly what they are looking for and how to provide it. Not only that but I’ll also help you discover the niche topics that would be perfect for you to write about, how to submit your article and how to follow up on it.
In essence this course will provide an insight into the true world of article writing, including the secrets and pitfalls, so that any capable writer can approach it with confidence and professionalism.
As part of this 5 week course you will not only receive 5 assignments filled with practical and proven information, but you will also receive homework designed to specifically re-enforce all that you have learned from the week’s assignment. Follow this information and the one-to-one feedback on your homework and by the end of the course you will be ready to send out your completed article to your chosen publication - one that will, hopefully, accept your article and happily pay you more than the cost of this course.
So what are you waiting for?

I will miss you.’ Yvonne, Australia
