Topic: 5 Tips for Finding Story Ideas That Sell with Diana Burrell. Dread coming up with story ideas? Feel like every idea you think up has been done a million times before? Diana will share with you some of the best strategies she has used herself to come up with story ideas that sold to national magazines, newspapers, and websites. There will be time after the class to ask your questions about generating salable story ideas. Diana and Linda will be making special offers for teleclass attendees only!
About Diana: Before she became a full-time freelance writer in 1999, Diana Burrell spent over 10 years working in advertising and marketing, both on the agency and client sides. The one thing she loved was coming up with ideas and concepts, whether naming a new caulking product or developing national trade show promotions. She learned how to generate vast numbers of ideas quickly, sort through them, and refine the best ideas into concepts that excited customers. This skill has served Diana well as a freelancer for magazines and newspapers such as Parenting, Oxygen, Family Circle, Clean Eating, The Boston Globe, Psychology Today, The South China Morning Post, The Atlantic Food Channel, and more. As the co-author of The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success and The Renegade Writer’s Query Letters That Rock, Diana’s no-holds-barred advice has inspired many aspiring and working freelancers. Diana teaches an e-course called Become an Idea Machine: How to (Painlessly) Build Up an Inventory of Story Ideas to Sell to Magazines through the Renegade Writer blog.

As this is a freebie, will you guys be posting a recording later?
Not sure yet, Bob…I’ve asked Diana so she’ll need to decide. But keep in mind that in order to ask Diana questions and be eligible for our special offers, you need to be in on the call!
Bob, Linda says this can be done, so we’ll post a recording of the call through Sunday, May 16.
