Can I make a living as a professional writer? If I already do, can I write more of what I want … and still pay the bills?
Yes, yes, and yes. There are more ways to create content for a living than most people realize. This course identifies the options, details the business and craft of professional writing, and — most importantly — affirms that you really do know enough to start now. This course is for all writing levels, from new entrants to experienced professional writers looking for more.

"Lori is an excellent teacher, and this is an understatement. I like to say that Lori is exceptional as a teacher that can easily walk on water and chew gum at the same time. In short, what I learned from Lori is immeasurably valuable."
"Lori is an inspiring and incredible instructor. She consistently checked in with us to focus the class in a helpful way!"
"Lori was a stupendous, engaging instructor who obviously was pulling from a wealth of knowledge about living through writing on your passions. The books and topics she referenced in our class are absolutely what I'll be working on for the remainder of the year."
