Storytelling 102 is a flexible, email-based course that will help you dig into how to find stories, build your audience, and fact-check articles. It's intended to be a follow up to Storytelling 101, our introductory email course.
We have two lessons ready for you so far:
How to find good stories
Sometimes the hardest part of writing a pitch is finding a story to write about. Not just a topic, of course, but the real, interesting narrative that will run through your piece. In this lesson, we share some of our editors' favorite resources and get you ready to pitch based on a new source.
How to share a story
A lot goes into producing an article, both at Massive and at other outlets. After a writer (like you!), editor, and producer all spend time working on a story, we want to make sure that it has the biggest audience possible. That's where social media, advertising, and syndication come in. This lesson will help you improve your social media copywriting so that more people see your stories.
