Do Online Teachers Get FB Apples?

appleHave you ever taken an online class? I took a great one on book reviews with Erika Dreifus as the instructor. Before I started the class I was totally in awe of Erika since I had been reading her book reviews and newsletter for ages. But she turned out to be the most helpful instructor. Her classes felt like a conversation with a friend.

Well, now it’s my turn to be the instructor and even though no one will be in awe of me I hope I can be just as helpful. I’m teaching Breaking Into Magazine Writing with Regional Markets through the WOW! Women on Writing classroom starting on Sept. 6. If regional markets aren’t your thing there are plenty of other classes to interest budding and experienced writers this fall. Check them out at the WOW! Classroom.

Now I need some helpful advice…have you taken an online class? What was the best/worst part of the class?

    It’s $125 for a five week course. And I just got my first student. From the UK. So now I’m an international instructor!
