Fantasy Writing: Making Your Fantasy Fiction a Reality - Starts May 21
With Rachel Carrington 
While writing a fantasy-specific romance may sound easier than writing a contemporary novel, it's extremely challenging. Yes, you can create your own world so no one can check your facts. However, there are some hard and fast rules you cannot break if your novel is to succeed in today's tough market. In this course, you'll learn those rules as well as world-building and creating a fantasy character who works with magic, powers, and abilities of which a mere mortal can only dream.

 

Publish That Book: How to Write a Nonfiction Book Proposal That Sells - Starts June 10
With Andrea Campbell

An intermediate-level, intensive eight-week workshop that's a combination of lessons and coursework, weekly chats, and an online message board in which you'll learn what is appropriate for writers who already have an idea for a book, but would like to know the complete and correct execution of this vital marketing product.

 

Writing the Nonfiction Book Proposal 
With Deborah Bouziden - Now open!

Did you know that you could sell a nonfiction book before it is written? All you need is a well-thought out, well-put together book proposal. In this five-week course, you’ll learn the best nonfiction book ideas for you and how to do market analysis, put together outlines and sample chapters, and sell yourself and your idea to an editor. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been thinking about writing a nonfiction book proposal for a long time or the thought occurred to you last week. By the time you have completed this course, if you have kept up with assignments, made necessary adjustments, and paid attention to feedback, you will have the key ingredients for your nonfiction book proposal and be ready to submit it to an editor.

Writing is hard work-- and there are no shortcuts. When it comes right down to the nitty gritty, it's just you and that glowing computer screen. That's when you need to know the basics of writing and finishing your novel. Learn the no-nonsense, no-frills writing that will give you the tools to finish that novel and start submitting to publishers

 

Copywriting in 10 Easy Steps - Starts June 2, 2008
With Susan Gunelius

Do you want to transition your writing career to include copywriting in your list of services? This course will teach you the fundamentals of writing compelling marketing and advertising copy that will exceed your clients’ expectations. Copywriting will be broken down into ten linear steps (called the Copywriting Outline) teaching students that copywriting is less about writing and more about marketing. In fact, it’s unlike any other form of writing. You’ll learn not to be intimidated or overwhelmed by copywriting, but rather to be inspired and confident each time you tackle a new copywriting project.

Our Advantages:

  • Flexible Enrollment Options

Absolute Classes offers a variety of online course for writers; current and upcoming course dates are posted on our schedule of classes. We also offer open enrollment  for some classes-- not tied to calendar dates; you may register at any time subject to enrollment limits (Instructors may choose to limit the number of enrollees in any class).

Many of our instructors can also accommodate "tutorial" instruction for learners who prefer this approach for a particular class. This differs from our normal instruction model in that the instructor will spend nearly all his or her time reading and reviewing the learner's manuscripts. The cost of tutorial instruction varies, starting at $40 per hour. For info, contact us here

  • Personal Attention From Your Instructor 

Absolute Classes' distinction is that all our instructors work with you one-on-one. In most cases, you will download or receive e-mailed course materials and assignments. Your instructor will give you assignments and personal feedback, and guide you through a charted course of learning. Our instructors also serve as resource centers for learners and will offer suggested books, follow-up activities, weblinks, and more.
