Your Tutor

All tutors are current professional journalists and/or editors. When we receive your Enrollment Application consideration is given to the types of freelance writing that most interest you.

Your personal tutor is a US media professional who is familiar with your publishing market.

Throughout your Course you have continual on-line access to your tutor to develop ideas and material relating specifically to the areas of freelance journalism that most interest you.

 

This might include such work as:

	General interest		Hobby and Craft
	Health and fitness		Travel and/or adventure
	Music and/or Entertainment		Fashion
	Environmental		Sports
	Business and finance		Human interest

It’s your tutor’s job to assess your assignments, develop your writing skills and bring you to a level of professionalism where your Diploma of Professional Freelance Journalism is forthcoming. It’s also your tutor’s job to help you get published during this period.

The “Professional Freelance Journalism” Course is all about writing for profit. Each week, publishers buy hundreds of thousands of words from freelance journalists. Why are these writers successful? Stated simply, because they know how to go about it.

At the outset, it is important to understand that this Course is not simply about the theory of freelance writing. It’s also about being published and paid for your writing efforts.

All magazines rely primarily, if not exclusively, on freelance writers. And, with thousands of blank pages to fill, why not?

Hand in Hand With Your Specially Assigned Tutor

When you first enroll in the “Professional Freelance Journalism” Course you are asked to complete our “Tutor Information Form”. This provides the College with valuable information about what you wish to accomplish and the areas of freelance journalism that most interest you.

Please regard your relationship with your tutor as a “partnership”. It’s your tutor’s job to ensure your progress throughout the Course, to work with you until you obtain your Diploma and to ensure you get published. Your tutor will work with you as closely as possible to guarantee you accomplish these goals.

Your one-to-one association with this media professional who has been especially chosen to help your career objectives is one of the great benefits of this Course. You are hand in hand with this chosen professional all the way.
