Guardian Masterclass

Do you have a spare £299? (Inclusive of VAT and booking Fee!) And two spare days in October 2012?

If so, you could learn how to write a blog. The course will examine the essential questions which must be addressed if you wish to write a blog that people will want to read. Sessions cover how to find a voice, a subject and a form; the dynamic relationship between images and text and different strategies in transforming a conversation into an effective written evocation of a personality.

And there you were, thinking all it takes to write a blog is telling people about your dog, your aunt Mary's skill with baking cupcakes and the fact that the sun and moon rise and shine at different times of the day and night.

  1. Given that it's The Guardian , an ability to spell is optional ?

  2. I think they mean if you want to write a marketable, self-promoting blog, since I find many of those in my blog hopping travels(& mostly I hop right by them).

  3. My blogging skills were self taught. I just wing it, and it shows.

  5. Laryngitis is the pits when you're looking for a Speaking Voice...
    Which ailment might be responsible for a lack of Blog Voice? Any ideas?

  6. I wish I had thought of charging £299 for something that everybody just does.

  7. I think they must mean a very different kind of blog.
