Its a pretty good review on what you can achieve in 12 weeks. I particularly like the style of the reviewing that you are doing.

Do you offer any kind of training?

Hi Tara

I’m glad you found the review helpful – MatadorU is a terrific writing course, and regardless of your genre you will learn some great narrative techniques that can improve anyone’s writing. And even though the market leads and publications they endorse are primarily for travel writing, you’ll still find some overlap with your own style and can likely find something useful there too.

Good luck with your new blog!

Thank you so much for writing this review Trisha. I am considering and will most likely register for the course. I’m pretty set on it and wanted to read some reviews from attendies.

I recently started a blog and feel this will be a nurturing experience.

P.S. I’m following you on Twitter now.

Thank you again!

Love, Light, Laughter & Life,
Tara

I think it’s something that every writer can benefit from, because even small improvements in any aspect of writing for an online audience can have great results in terms of increased exposure and traffic, but most importantly if you can pick up new techniques that improve your writing style it can really positively impact your career.

I love your blog – I’ve been following it and although I’m only so-so in the kitchen, I’ve even tried a few of your recipes – yum!

JoAnna whatever you may lack in experience you more than make up for with talent! And experience will come quickly.

Congratulations on winning the WiFTy Scholarship! That’s quite an honor as I understand that there were quite a lot of entries recieved – bravo!

Thanks for this! I started looking into when they launched the tuition contest. It sounds like it is something I could really use.

I agree completely, Trisha. I have just a little, tiny bit of experience under my belt, but this course has me thinking a little bit differently about the way I write. For anyone considering the course, I also highly recommend it.

Trisha-

I’m really thrilled that you joined the program, and more thrilled that you’re finding value in the course, particularly as a writer with lots of experience. I look forward to continuing to read your thoughtful contributions in the forums!
