Instructor BioJulia Dahl's Courses Women's Magazine Writing Boot Camp – New York (Class starts September 24)  Testimonials Breaking into the Glossies with Julia Dahl was an educational, informative, and inspiring experience. Julia is a seasoned expert in her field and her approachable demeanor put all members of the class at ease and allowed for an open and frank discussion about pitching to glossy magazines. This was a terrific course! -- Andrea Sarubbi, Georgetown University Office of Communications"The class really helped me jump-start my freelance writing career. I finished the course with 5 solid writing assignments that are all circulating with editors at major magazines now, and I've found a network of female writers with whom I plan to stay in touch. It's a great way to stay motivated!" -- Jennifer Rudolf "My first piece just came out in Woman's Day, and I've sold 3 more stories for inclusion in upcoming issues. The course has already more than paid for itself, and Julia has been a warm, accessible instructor with a real willingness to stay in touch with her former students." -- Nicole Rosenleaf Ritter, writer & editor "Couldn't have had a better instructor! She was everything a teacher should be, knowledgeable about women's magazines and a true inspirational mentor. I've read a lot of books on magazine writing and was amazed how much more I learned from this class. I not only got wonderful tips on writing for magazines, but was also very inspired!" -- Wendy Land "Julia Dahl is amazing. She's smart, knowledgeable and so personable. She's the ideal instructor. There was no "stupid" question and she made the class comfortable and fun too. All criticism was completely constructive and always encouraging. I couldn't have learned more." -- Debbie Williams "I think my instructor was enthusiastic, intelligent, dedicated and very supportive. She concisely steered me in the right direction by pointing out my strengths and weaknesses. She told me what areas I should focus on and what I should do in order to pursue a writing career. She had a no-nonsense, no BS approach that I appreciated. I've been writing for a long time but didn't know what areas I should focus on. I think Julia helped guide me in the correct direction." -- Lisa Molinaro |
