When you sign up, your email receipt will contain the date when your class begins.

On the Friday before the class begins, you will get an orientation email with more information.

A new lecture and assignment is sent to all students every Monday during the run of the class. Students participate at their leisure, anytime that week, via email. We know how busy everybody is, which is why we don't make everybody come to a certain webpage at a certain time on that day.

All students correspond directly with the instructor during the course of the class. But, you can always email wwu-support - at - writersweekly.com if you're having any difficulties.

About The Class:

Whether you've just published your first novel, won a writing award, or landed a large local writing contract, you deserve some recognition for all of your hard work. Sending out a press release to your city newspaper, a national publication, or even a news syndicate is a great way for others to learn about your accomplishments! But more importantly, it's a way for potential readers and clients to learn where to buy your book or how to contract for your professional writing services!

In this three-week course, you will learn that self-promotion is not a dirty word. In fact, it can take you places that polishing your work for hours just can't.

At the end of this course, you will have completed a press release template that is ready to fax, email and mail to all the media outlets you can get your hands on. And you'll have the technique mastered that will help you do it again and again and ultimately, become a press release pro.

Praise For The Art of the Press Release

Victoria went above and beyond the call of duty. She was a delight to communicate with via email and I am thankful I signed up for the course. Thanks for offering such a great course taught by such a fantastic teacher. I will definitely be signing up for more courses!
