In May of 2007, Alberta began her career as an instructor for Beginning Writer's Workshops.
During this time she
has been teaching at public libraries and senior centers. She has now advanced to instructing the classes at the Learning Connect(www.learnconnect.com) in New Bedford, Massachusetts and their location in Providence, Rhode Island.
She teaches writers on how to get published, promoting
their books and marketing ideas. Her experiences in writing has
brought many secrets of what one should be aware of with agents and
publishers. She helps the writer come to term with what pitfalls to
avoid throughout the publishing process. The good and bad points of
getting published are stressed and the reality of the ups and downs are
studied.
Her courses include a two hour
solidly paced 120 minutes. Anyone interested in writing and is not
quite sure how to get started or someone with a finished manuscript
that is not quite sure how to get it published, will benefit from this
class. The courses does not touch on the writing skills.
The student can purchase her forty-four page binder at the class or on her site (www.ahealingheart.net)> It contains the topics discussed during the class and more.
