Courses for Writers

Kellie Nissen, an ex-teacher of 26 years and now an author coach and editor with Just Right Words, is now offering two online courses for writers:

·       Self-editing for Writers

·       Writing Awesome Teaching Notes (When You’re Not a Teacher)

Self-editing for Writers looks at what editing is and what professional editors do before delving into the three stages of editing: structural edits, copy/line edits and proofreading. Course participants will discover what is involved at each stage, what to look for and industry ‘tips and tricks’ and will put these into practice with their own writing. The course is designed to be modified to suit the needs of the group (and individual members), with plenty of feedback and support provided.

Cost: $500 (inc. GST)

Minimum number: 5 participants

Duration: 6 weeks, 3 hours a week

Delivery: via Zoom with some video content, all sessions recorded for participant review

 

Writing Awesome Teaching Notes (When You’re Not a Teacher) examines what teaching notes are and what their purpose is. We then look at the Australian Curriculum and spend some time practising how to navigate it – and understand it at the level needed for ensuring your teaching notes are curriculum aligned. The types of activities suitable for teaching notes will be discussed and participants will then design teaching notes and activities for their book(s) during the sessions with plenty of brainstorming, collaboration and feedback.
