Why an online writing workshop?
We both love to write and love to teach. We think that teaching online is the perfect way to signify the freedom writers have in the modern age. Today’s writer is no longer bound by region or genre. Technology has expanded our circle of friendships as well as our writing community. People move around more these days, too—why be limited to being an ‘LA writer’ or ‘romance writer’ or ‘nature writer’ when there are so many possibilities? Q: How did you get funding for your business? A: We were very lucky because our business doesn’t require much overhead. An online business doesn’t need a brick and mortar place to operate. We needed a web hosting company, of course but we work really hard to find alternate ways of doing things. We believe in DIY and guerilla marketing. For example, we found open source software that we can use to teach our classes. We simply spent the time learning how to install and use it. Most of our time is spent marketing. It takes longer and requires a lot more work
