Welcome to the
Once A Writer Workshop!

WHAT DO I GET FOR A ONCEAWRITER.COM PAID SUBCRIPTION?

You get eight writer workshops modeled after the onsite courses I taught over a period of more than twenty years. The first four are primers, designed for beginning writers attempting to start a career in freelance writing, followed by other topics from which any writer can pick and choose. In addition, the paid membership site allows for follow-up through the subscription period, by e-mail, phone, text or a combination. I’ll also take a look at your finished work and give you honest, constructive feedback in addition to providing requested samples of queries, published articles and book proposals.

WHAT WILL I LEARN IF I SUBSCRIBE?

For many writers of any genre, fiction or fact, there are certain elements in freelance writing that they need most. For example, you might know how to find the perfect idea for your story pitch, but do you know how to determine if that pitch is ready to market? Can you write a powerful one-page query letter? Do you know when and how to produce a book proposal? Best ways to deal with rejection? Your most effective writer tools of the trade? How to hone your idea and find a slant?

Freelance writers are, like their work, complex and multi-varied so it’s impossible to address every subject. That’s why there’s a section for your suggestions, comments and requests for new and more specialized courses as we grow and improve over time.

The following courses, in easy-to-read, visually enhanced Word Documents are for beginning and advanced writers who want to market what they write, yet may not need an entire course from start to finish.

So whether you’re freelancing fulltime, dipping your toe in the writing business for fun, retired and finally want to follow your ambitions as a writer, there’s a little something for nearly every scribe here.

For a one-time annual low-cost subscription fee you can visit as often as you like.
