Get Connected: Blogging and Social Networking for Writers   

It’s crucial for modern writers to have online presences even before their first publications. Blogging, micro blogging and social and business networking all offer opportunities for writers to connect with readers, editors, agents and more. But with so much of the Web changing every day it can be hard for writers to know where to start, and how to grow, their online homes.   

This course will deliver an introduction to social media for writers including blogs, micro blog sites, social networking pages and business networking accounts. In four one-week sessions writers will learn how to plan a social media strategy, set up social media accounts, keep online content fresh, get connected online and even make money from their online endeavours. Each week will include an email lecture, Web reading recommendations and activities to be submitted for tutor review. Writers who take advantage of all activities will have created a blog and several networking accounts at the end of this course.
