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. Bring a writing goal and let’s use our four weeks to draft content and create a plan — including how to prospect — that feels achievable.

Lori Beerman (she/her) has been writing professionally for nearly 25 years. She holds an MA in English and has worked in advertising, technical and business writing, and journalism. She is self-employed, has a national byline with HealthLeaders, and is an expressive writing facilitator with The Porch’s Writing for Good program. She co-authored “Innovative Frontiers: Harnessing Virtual Reality for Burnout Prevention in Highly Sensitive Individuals” and has written for for MIT and Introvert, Dear. Her horror film essays have appeared in Soledad, Horror Obsessive, Diabolique and Creepy Lovely.

What Our Students Say

"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."
