Wine Writers Workshop at Boston Wine School

Jonathan Alsop of the Boston Wine School is holding a Wine Writers Workshop on four Mondays, June 30 to July 21, from 6:30-9pm. If you already write about wine or would like to start doing so, then you could benefit from this class.

Here is how the class is described:

"Have you been dreaming about taking your love of wine and words to a new -- maybe even professional -- level? If you've always wanted to write about wine and food, you owe it to yourself to devote four Mondays to making that dream come true.

This freewheeling Wine Writers Workshop is for writers at any level of experience and development. If you're a beginner, we can get you started on the road to writing about wine and selling wine articles. If you have "works in progress," we'll workshop those pieces and move them along to the polishing stage.

You'll learn what editors and publishers are looking for and how to pitch story ideas that really sell. We'll study different ways to structure wine articles, how to write interesting and engaging tasting notes, and how to bring your wine love to life. Most importantly, we'll focus on writing about wine as a process -- not just a product -- and how to get to the story behind the bottle."

The class costs $135 and you can sign up online. Special discount stipends are available for a limited number of students. For more information, contact Jonathon at wineclass@bostonwineschool.com.

I will be attending this class so maybe I will see you there. And I will report back when the classes are complete as Alsop will probably run this class again in the future.
