I run successful one-day courses for leading journalism website journalism.co.uk/ One is called 'How to pitch and market a book', which I developed in conjunction with the site after pitching the concept . The course offers practical advice in how to construct a book pitch, and in how authors can market their published work. The other is called 'How to Get a Job in Journalism' and was developed in response to a request from the site. This course aims to provide basic advice to new entrants to the trade or people looking to change roles.
Details of the courses and booking information can be found at journalism.co.uk's training page.
