Our recent Writing 101 and Writing 201 Blogging U. courses were a huge success — so we thought you should be able to enjoy them even if your schedule didn’t allow you to take them in real time.
We’re happy to announce that both courses are now offered as free ebooks, available for download in .pdf, .mobi (Kindle), and .epub (iBooks) formats. While conceived with nonfiction writers in mind, fiction writers (we know you’re out there, NaNoWriMo participants!) could find both courses just as useful.
Which ebook should you choose?
Writing 101: Build a Blogging Habit was initially designed as a four-week course. It includes 20 writing prompts, each with its own (optional) twist to push your writing in new directions, from improving your descriptions to thinking about voice and pace. In ebook form, now you can follow the course at your own rhythm and in any order you wish.
Writing 201: Finding Your Story, an intensive four-part course, focuses on editing your unpolished or unfinished drafts into compelling narratives. Loaded with advice and practical tips, this ebook will help you hone some fundamental storytelling skills, like creating powerful openings and writing engaging scenes.
Of course, you don’t actually need to choose — why not give both a try? (Did we mention they were free?)
While you’re ebook-browsing, don’t forget our other available titles: 365 Writing Prompts, Photography 101, and Grow Your Traffic, Build Your Blog.

I was quite disappointed that I wasn’t able to participate in Blogging 101 and Photography 101 because of schedule constraints. Learning about the ebooks is great news for me and I can’t wait to start! Thank you :D
