WRITING ABOUT NATURE AND THE OUTDOORS

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's
peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees..."
Sierra Club founder John Muir wasn't the first to be inspired
by nature enough to write about it, but his prose provided a
cornerstone for the increasingly popular genre we know
today as nature writing.

Writing About Nature and the Outdoors will teach you to
sharpen your observation skills and where to look for the
latest outdoor news. Students will learn to match article
ideas to target publications, develop catchy queries,
research wisely and edit judiciously.

Instructor: Wendee Holtcamp
Dates: 6 weeks, starting the week of May 8
Fee: $95

Freelance Success Institute announces its January 2000 schedule of unique
correspondence courses. All courses are conducted by private Internet
mailing lists that allow group discussion, yet enable communication by
ordinary e-mail. Any e-mail address, on any network, works.
The online format allows for an unusual amount of interaction between
instructor and student. Class size is limited to allow the instructors time
to focus on each student. Your instructor will mail you an e-mail lesson
once a week, which will include a homework assignment, which the instructor
will then critique.

Class discussion on the Internet mailing list will be visible to all
participants in the class, but critiques may be shared or by private e-mail.
