Certificate In Biography Writing

Learn how to write biographies

Everyone enjoys a good tale about their favourite celebrity or would like to get under the skin of a person they admire. So it's no surprise that biographies make up a good percentage of the books that are published and, in turn, publishers are always on the look out for new work. What often surprises people is that writing biographies is one of the most accessible areas of non-fiction writing and is a good place for new writers to start. It's also an area where you can make some money.

If you fancy writing about your favourite celebrity, hero or heroine this course is for you. We will tell you how to do the research, how to put your book together and, most importantly, how to get it published.

Certificate In Biography Writing

Writing about people's lives is exciting, lots of fun and, in some circumstances, financially very profitable. It's also a great place to start your writing career.

People are fascinating - and fascinated by each other. However, it's not just stories about the rich and famous that intrigue. Tales of adventure, overcoming adversity, a fall from grace, love, scandal, crime, murder - all grip the imagination.

Accounts of our forebears and how they lived never fail to appeal. The public's appetite for the exploits of others is insatiable and biographies are rarely out of the bestseller lists. So, editors and publishers will pay good money for the right stories.

We give you a course which has been developed and written by professional writers that will show you how to write a biography. You have detailed guidance from expert tutors, constructive help to improve your writing and a flexible study programme to suit your circumstances.

When you combine your enthusiasm and creative talents with our expertise, it gives you a very good chance of seeing your biography in print.
