After a huge demand for our blogging workshops during this year’s Manchester Literature Festival, we’ve decided to hold another one for those who might have missed out in October.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll look at the elements that go into successful blogs, and discuss the finer points of style, design, focus, and attracting readers. We’ll also take you through the applications and add-ons that can make your blog function more professionally. This workshop will suit someone who’s already familiar with the basics of blogging but wants to progress to the next level.
Wireless available on site for laptops, or workstations provided – please specify your needs when booking. Limited to ten places. Book by calling the Manchester Literature Festival office on 0161 236 5725, or by emailing admin@manchesterliteraturefestival.co.uk
