Writing about Technology
Write about high tech for high dollars
Course Details
Technology is part of everything we do, from iPhones to ultrasounds. Everyone needs our hyperaccelerated world explained in a way they can understand -- which means there's a big market out there for writing about tech and the science behind it. From top-dollar glossies like Wired magazine to your local newspaper, countless publications run articles on how new inventions and ideas are changing everything. Many writers are intimidated by the eggheadery that seems to be required, but you don't need any special training or knowledge to write about tech - just the basic tools of good journalism, applied intelligently. This course will teach you how. In this seminar, you will learn: Related CoursesTell me when courses like this are scheduled. • Podcasting – ONLINE (Class starts October 8)

Testimonials I've been freelancing full-time for 2 years, and I wish I'd taken Vince's class before I had started - the tips he shared would have improved my reporting and made my life a lot easier. -- Kenneth Miller, full-time freelancer"Vince was friendly, informative, and handled the class extremely well. He really got me jazzed about my current investigative pieces. I'd definitely recommend him and take classes from him in the future." -- Lauren Horwich, News Editor, Back Stage West "I found Vince's class to be very informative. He was clear, logical, realistic, and encouraging." -- Maria A. Del Toro, writer, www.madeltoro.com "The class was very informative and empowered me with many helpful websites and resources that will help me develop new stories." -- Lisanne Alack, freelance reporter "Vince Beiser makes it all look easy! He's that rare, successful writer who's able to share what he's learned out loud in a way that is engaging and fun, not dig-me and pedantic. You'll walk away equipped with what you need to actually make a good run at it. -- Colleen Wainwright "Vince's class was a fantastic stepping stone for someone just beginning to delve into pitching articles, yet also full of insider tips for those more experienced." -- Abby Mims "Vince was very nice, friendly, and funny when he needed to be. Vince even gave us his email address and said we could email him with questions." -- Lesley McCave "Within six weeks of Vince's class I had two articles accepted to a magazine -- one of them a feature, and best of all, I got paid!" -- Shasta McBride |
