[stylist] Online Writing classes

[John Lee Clark]

Atty:

For my part, I have never bothered with classes.  I learned about getting
published from Writer's Market and went from there.  It has chapters on
submissions, query letters, agents, everything in the beginning before the
directory section.

Does your state have free transcribing services?  If so, you might want to
send them the latest edition of Writer's Market.  I am not sure if there is
a separate book focusing on horror, as there are ones for poetry and
songwriting, but if not, you might want to instruct the transcriber to do
all the introductory chapters and then only the listings in the directory
under horror.

Just an idea.

John

Hi folks,

I've just finished an online writing class called "Advanced Fiction 
writing". Before that I took "Grant Writing A To Z".

Now, I'm not just telling you this because I have the urge to share my 
acodemic acomplishments with y'all. Instead, I need a little advice.

In both classes, the grant writing more then the fiction riting, the 
instructors use .jpg or some other picture format to depict text. Now I've 
written the instructors personally, wrote the technical people, and 
hopefully it will do some good.

I thought I'd get out of the fiction writing class unscathed, but that last 
lesson he had his query letter posted as an example and you guessed it, it 
was the .jpg.

Like I said, I wrote the teachers and the tech folks, anyone have any other 
suggestions?

It anoys the crap out of me!

I want to take the beginners guide to publishing next but these picture 
formats are enough to stop me.

Jumping up and down and trying not to use four letter words,
Atty
