The Australian Association of Writing Programs

I think there needs to be a few more members drawn in and maybe some discussions posed...

Wow - there's a long time between posts.  I've just joined up today, and started working around the menu system.

I'm sure things will pick up now that the academic year has ended - except for PhD students.  Time is such a fickle measure to apply to writing ;)

So, I just wanted to say hello, and maybe get some guidance on how to use this site effectively.

Just checking in guys.

Cheers.

Hi

I only joined this group yesterday and I have no idea how to write, hence the reason I joined.  Hoping some kind, helpful people will nudge me in the write (pun!) direction.

I'm currently "in between jobs" as they say and I'm noticing that jobs I would like to go for ...creative jobs...are asking that not only can you design the brochures, flyers etc but you also need to write the content.  Now..I don't want to lie that I can do this as I never written (well nothing of any serious nature) BUT I'm thinking if I could do a few courses and teach myself (hopefully) how to write analytically and with a business content in mind then I'd feel more willing to put this on my resume with examples to back it up in my portfolio.  The "Digital Media" link is the type of story I'd like to write.  I pulled the design together but sadly didn't write any of the content.

If anyone out there knows of any good (free) online courses that could teach me some basic writing skills I'd be eternally grateful.

Slab of beer in it if the link I use gets me the job I'm after ;-)

Cheers
