At a time when generative AI can mass produce content in seconds, learning to tell authentic stories is more important than ever. Whether you’re pursuing a career in journalism or developing your personal writing, storytelling can deepen your understanding of yourself, others and the world around you.
Our courses provide the skills and guidance for growing a career in freelance writing or transforming your original ideas and experiences into writing that resonates. Learn how to craft compelling stories, develop your ideas, create writing that sells or bring your memoir to the page. Along the way, discover how the process of writing itself can expand your thinking, inspire self-discovery and cultivate a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Take a single course or combine select courses to complete a micro-certificate program and come away with the tools for personal or professional self-expression.
