I am delighted with the School! All the people are supportive, course materials are superb, and my tutor is a published writer who responds to each of my assignments with professional insight and advice. I have just sold a feature article to a national lifestyle magazine! The money was great and the personal gratification tremendous. The School has turned my dream into reality.

How Our Training Works
Your Course Begins
When you enroll for one of our courses, we'll quickly courier your course materials to you. This package includes your first set of lessons and assignments, as well as valuable reference books, software, CDs, and movies on DVDs. When you start, your first task is simple—tell us more about yourself. For your first written assignment, you are asked to complete a personal profile. Take this opportunity to give us a detailed portrait of who you are—your background, experiences, goals, what you hope to gain from the course, and any other insights you wish to share. Based on this information, we match you with the personal tutor who is best suited to your personality and goals. We send you your tutor's name, contact information, and a detailed letter outlining his or her career expertise and background. Your tutor serves as your mentor throughout the course, providing you with the individual help and guidance you need to excel.
Your Assignments
In the comfort of your own home and at your own pace, you work through your assignments one unit at a time. You submit your assignments to the school either by regular mail, email, or through our user-friendly website. Your tutor reviews each piece and sends back expert analysis and marketing advice.
You Edit and Revise
You consider your tutor's advice and make any necessary changes. Even at this early stage you may be submitting pieces for publication. Lots of students achieve success with their first assignment.
Your Customized Course
By this time we are beginning to understand you quite well. Your tutor adapts the course to meet your unique needs. Together, you discover your hidden talents and full potential.
Refining Your Technique
Your personal tutor reviews and analyzes each idea, story or article you submit. He or she will help you sharpen both your writing and marketing skills. You build confidence in your abilities as they improve with every unit you complete. By the end of the course, you should have an impressive portfolio of publishable work.
