TO ALL OUR PARTICIPANTS AT THE WRITERS' COMMUNITY 2013




Hi there,
Great Writer,
We believe you have been up and doing with your assignments. Please bear in mind that all assignments will be submitted on Saturday, 24th of August 2013. These assignments will be part of the resource materials that we will be using for the publication of the journal. Kindly avail yourself the privilege of having your works published there-in. This we believe will be a better prospect and a boost for you in branding and presenting yourself for similar projects.
We so much believe in what we are carving and producing through you, Great Writers! And we are proud of you. It is for this reason that we advise and implore you to get the lecture notes. It will help a lot even after the close of the course, as it becomes easy for you to quickly go back to them to refresh your memory.
Equally, we have made this project affordable by demanding for only registration fee, certificate fee and journal fee, summed up to N3000.
For clarifications, the registration fee is N1000, which serves as your form fee, the certification fee is also N1000. We believe you will not spend a great deal of your time these past weeks on learning how to write better and not desire a certificate. Also, the journal fee, is N1000- this fee will be channeled towards the publication of a mini-newspaper that will contain all your vetted articles and an advert of your product (if you have any). This journal will be distributed for free.
For the sake of our prospective participants who have either missed one, two classes or have not been able to make it these past weekends, this last weekend of lectures offers them the most promising opportunity of having all the lectures in a class. This lecture will be compressed, succinct yet detailed.
And for participants who have been available, this weekend will also help them refresh on all they have learnt these past weeks, adding more to their knowledge base.
All you need do is be around this Saturday, and you can have the three-week lectures in a class. We are doing this with the intention of helping you find a time that you can maximize for these lectures in your overwhelming schedules.
We will be glad if you avail yourself this opportunity this Saturday as we are doing it for you.
Kindly visit www.armstrongconsult .blogspot.com for more details or perhaps call 08135494686, 07060685831, 08032190106 to get more details. You can forward your questions to consult_armstrong@yahoo.com

OUR WELCOME LETTER THIS SATURDAY AS WE COMMENCE WITH THE WRITERSCOMMUNITY COURSE




Welcome!


It is with an unending excitement that we welcome you guys to the first phase of The Writers’ Community Course. For us, we are elated to have you as our first participants in this course, intended to create profound and prolific writers and authors.

This, for us is huge. It is an avenue to build and breed great writers that will take over the writing industry. There is a dearth of young writers in our society today, and this is because the social media has taken away from us all the fundamentals we need to learn about writing. This ought not to be so as the social media should equally serve as a fulcrum to maximizing our writing, spreading it across the globe.

On our part as a Team, we will be teaching these fundamentals and also teach on how to adequately maximize this social media as writers. This, we intend to cover in this 3-week course.

We advise that every participant adhere to the rules and regulations laid for this programme and have fun in this promising learning experience. In the course of the lectures we will be learning new things, getting refreshed on things we have learnt before and also engaging in activities that will spur our creativity. We enjoin everyone to seize the opportunities to make friends, build better network of friends and business partners.

You will be given tests and assignments as we go through this course. Please ensure you make most of these assignments and tests to your benefits.

Let’s maximize this moment, ask questions from the facilitators and form every other participant. You should equally enjoy the practical classes.
