Blogging 101
Editorial Freelancer’s Association
EFA members $100 — Nonmembers $125
Class Description
In today’s world, it’s almost de rigueur to have a blog, whether you’re a writer looking to connect with an audience or an editor who wants to attract clients with a stronger online presence. In this class, you will learn how to grab your own little piece of the blogosphere and make it shine. Via lessons appropriate for both blogging newbies and those who already have a blog and want to make it more compelling, you will learn the basics of setting up a blog, attracting readers, promoting it — and, yes, even making money. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of the blog world and a blog that fits your own personal and professional needs.

Good Blog, Bad Blog
Richard Hugo House, Seattle
I’ll be teaching my world-famous blogging class again - this time in the longer, dance-mix, six week version!

Class Description
Weblogs—or “blogs”—are powerful tools for writers. They can help you hone your voice, find an audience and get your name “out there” in a way that was previously impossible. We’ll explore the democratic, dynamic world of the blogosphere to determine how to make our own blogs shine, while also addressing the basics of creating, promoting and customizing them. The goal is to come away with some bright ideas about how to “give good blog,” while also leveraging the blogosphere for our own individual writing needs.

December 14, 4-7 pm
Peridot Holiday Trunk Show
I’ll be selling copies of my book at Peridot from 5-10 pm, a great little boutique in Lower Queen Anne, located at 525 1st Avenue West Wine and refreshements will be served!
