The Renegade Writer Blog

We had such great success with our new Renegade Writer courses that we’re offering them again! Check out the new dates…we have courses starting on April 28 and May 5. And keep an eye on that page…we’ll be adding courses on travel writing, idea generation, and more exciting topics.

Here’s what students have had to say about our courses so far:

• Just to say thank you so much for the course and valuable lessons! Will keep you posted on any success I’ll have in landing assignments in trade pubs.
  —Silvia Stock, for Pat Curry’s Building a High-Paying Career with Trade Magazines
• Monica Bhide’s “Introduction to Food Writing” is even more than that. Monica’s direction is thorough, encouraging, and inspiring. If you want to be a food writer, you will find a path in this course. Do her assignments and listen to her, and you will be ready to add Food Writing to your professional mix.
  —Daphne Howland, for Monica Bhide’s Introduction to Food Writing
• I want to thank you for holding the class. It’s really been eye-opening and you gave us some very helpful instruction.
  —Heather Larson, for Pat Curry’s Building a High-Paying Career with Trade Magazines
• At the very end of 2006, I decided to take one of your courses with hopes of starting a freelance career. In January 2007, I bought Query Letters That Rocked. I completely changed the way I did things…the first story I sold this year was to USA Today!
• Since then, I have sold stories to The New York Times, American Cheerleader, Wondertime, American Baby, Discover, Yoga Journal, Spirituality & Health, Web MD, Mother Jones, Fit Pregnancy, Delicious Living and Plenty. I’m now having people come to me– have signed on to do some niche blogging and just accepted a trade article today.
  —Rachel Mosteller, for Linda Formichelli’s course on Breaking into Magazines
• Monica Bhide’s foodwriting course is pure joy. Her love for the subject and enthusiasm comes across in her meticulous course materials and generous feedback. Many internet courses skim the surface of the subject matter, but Bhide dives in straight and deep. Not only do her lessons cover the pros and cons of different food writing aspects, she includes targeted Q&As with food writing professionals and carefully crafted samples that drive the information home. While Bhide’s exercises require serious commits of time and thought, they aren’t just “busy work”. The assignments mirrors real life scenarios or build practical skills you can put to immediate use. The highlight of the course is Bhide’s feedback. She gives unrestrained praise where earned and constructive, helpful suggestions to fill the gaps. I highly recommend taking this food writing course. My only complaint is it ended too soon.
