I happened to come across this. If my MP3 can take all of it, I will want to copy everything and listen to what Celia or Viola sounds like. Wonder if all the characters are being portrayed well. A pity none of my most favourite plays are featured. Hopefully all will be added in soon!
I received an email, followed by snail mail, featuring a brochure from The Writers Bureau. This is an organisation that gives correspondence courses to budding writers. All bases seem to have been covered, since they have the real beginners' course that covers everything, and also specialised courses.
The best thing about this course is there are no examinations, only tutor-marked assignments, and students can start anytime they like, as well as take their time to complete the course at their own pace, since there is no structured semester.
Apparently this course seems pretty well-received, and not that expensive too! I must research on how widely-recognised it is. If it is recognised and useful, I will not mind taking up the Comprehensive Creative Writing Course, which covers writing style, how to sell your writing, developing the craft, newspaper writing, articles, women's and men's writing, articles pertaining to general interest, travel, kids, humour, religion, non-fiction, fiction, novels, short stories and plays.
I will also like to take up the Freelance Journalism Course, The Art of Writing Poetry Course, and the course on writing biographies, memoirs and history. There are even specialised courses for those who want to write only novels or short stories, or those who only want to write fiction, or non-fiction, or exclusively articles.
There are even resources to help budding writers, like a free e-zine that gives tips and insider market resources, guide and reference books, competition details, and people can even engage the tutors to review and appraise their work at a nominal fee!
All in all, the entire course sounds pretty interesting. It ties in very well with what I like to do. I am so tempted to take it up, if all looks well. That is, if I can juggle my time, resources and finances very well together.
