Welcome!
to the largest Web-based writing school

In Brief:

We're an online correspondence school with more than 60 courses taught by writers for writers. Lessons come to you by e-mail. There is no "brick-and-mortar" classroom. There is no specific "class time" for you to be at your computer.

Your course starts the Monday after you register and lasts for 4, 6 or 8 weeks. When that course schedule is ended, your course has ended too.

For people too busy to do a weekly assignment, we also offer 'Extended' courses which last twice as long and cost slightly more. Explain this to me.

Most courses are basic. The few with prerequisites are so marked.

Prices are low, and there is a 10-day full-refund drop period if you don't like what you see.

To view the course descriptions, go to the COURSE CATALOG (there's also a button at your left). Each catalog entry links to a course description page. To register, just scroll to the bottom of the course description page.

You may register by secure credit card, using PayPal, or send us a US-bank check or money order.

ESSAY: The Times They Are A-Changing
by Stephen Morrill

I suspect that in twenty or thirty years any remaining journalists - all three of them - will look back at the second half of the 20th century as the end of the golden age of magazines and books.

Time was when one could earn a decent living (I did) writing. Magazines needed our work and felt that good writing would attract readers and readers would attract advertisers. The system worked. For a while.

 by Stephen Morrill

But it worked, in large part, because writing was hard. It was not easy to do proper research. It took long training to learn to write well. Just the typing and mailing and schmoozing and marketing and all those peripheral things was physically difficult and time-consuming. Phone calls were expensive. Communication required effort.

Five Easy Steps to Registering for a Course:

1) Click on the COURSE CATALOG button at the top left in the Navigation area. That takes you to an alphabetical listing of all courses. (So will clicking on the link here.)

2) Scroll down, reading the mini-descriptions, to find a course that interests you.

3) Click on that course name to read a full description, course outline and teacher biography.

4) At the bottom of that individual course description page are links to use to register for the course. One link is for checks and money orders, the other for credit and debit cards.

5) When we receive your registration, we'll assign a start date, usually the next Monday, and notify your teacher.

Not sure about us?

Read our FAQs (Frequently-Asked Questions) page. If you have questions not answered there, e-mail us at Director@WritersCollege.com In the US you may also call 813-236-7509.

But know this too: WritersCollege.com started in 1998 and, with more than 60 courses, is one of the oldest and largest schools on the web. We have taught students, thousands of them, from most of the countries of the world.

We don't cheat people. We don't even see your credit cards; that's one reason we use PayPal. No other school offers a ten-day no-questions-asked refund.

The only question is: Will you work hard at learning the information? That is the biggest single determinant of success.

Why are the classes so expensive?

The short answer is: They are not. Some of these same courses are or were taught by the same teachers, for major universities, and at a fee as much as 3-5 times higher.

Keep in mind that the most expensive form of education is personal experience. Having the benefit of our teachers' personal experience is a lot cheaper than starting from zero yourself.
